I can assure you we don't understand LOL

Keep up the good work! I feel the same sometimes but i have to remind myself i've almost lost 150 pounds! That's a ton of weight!

Keep up the great work my man. So far i have lost 12 inches in the waist and i'm getting off my meds as well! Great job!

Yup! Congrats. I have been flying cattle class lately and saving a ton with not having to buy business class just to fit in the seat!

In the past 2 weeks I have noticed that all of a sudden i can eat more than 2 ounces of food. Last night I had a piece of chicken that was 3 ounces or a little more. I couldn't seem to eat anything more than 2 ounces for the first 5 and a half months. Anyone else have this? Las month i visited my surgeon and he asked if i was eating 3 ounces yet, I said not even close. He told me to work up to it, but it seems to have just happened. Having said that I have lost 10 pounds in the last 2 weeks after a week to ten day stall. I need new pants!

I'm the same with you actually even though you have had much less weight to lose than i have. We are on the same wave length. I'm going to get down to your weight with in the 2 years. so far so good 128 pounds in 5 months!

Dang thanks for posting that chart! I'm doing something right! Just broke 250 pounds tonight. I'm down to 249. Still have a ways to go but after seeing that chart i feel like i'm doing the right things!

You look great, keep up the good work and enjoy your trip!

I can't tell you how cool that is to see. I flew in economy for the first time in 15 years last month (I used to have to buy business class seats everywhere i went) and had the same win! It's a great feeling when you don't have to ask for an extender!

That is fantastic! Thanks for posting this.

That's 100% a NSV. I have been able to cross my legs without having to literally pull my leg up for 2 months now and it's nice. I'm also getting bony, I notice when I sit for long periods of time (work) my butt starts to really hurt now that it doesn't have the extra padding. Anyway, good job!

I was a train wreck for about 3 days and then i couldn't have more than a few sips of water the first few days i was home. It's normal and you will be fine. You will literally grow into it, and learn how to chew food and not drink water at the same time like everyone else. Get ready for some big changes and weight loss. The fun has just started! As for your blood clot question, it is normal. My best friend had it done before I did and he was puking clots of blood, which i never did after mine. He's fine, he went from 350 pounds to 174 pounds in 1 year. Hang in there.

You are correct. I was one of those people that could lose 80 pounds over 6 months with diet and exercise but then i would gain the 80 back, plus 20! And that happened a few times over the years until I finally decided to get the surgery.

I'm well on my way to mine. And you are correct. The hard work does pay off! Congrats.

It's been 4 months and 5 days. Starting weight was 377 pounds. Today I was 264 pounds. I eat 800 Cal or less a day and have been on a hardcore next to zero carb diet since 2 weeks before my surgery. The restriction is real, can't eat much more than 2.5 ounces. All is well. Hope you all are kicking butt!
