Thanks everybody! I'm trying not to get to excited because I know it's a long process, but it's hard to not:-)

Tiff, I've been thinking about setting up another blog too because so much of my life now is not about this great tool. It's good to hear from you!

Thank you for updating us. It sounds like you are having great fun (well except with the bulge).

You are totally rocking your sleeve! I know we're not supposed to compare, but at around 7 weeks out, I was also 30 pounds down. I wish you continued success!

My fingers are crossed for you!

Lynn,

I just want to say welcome...just read a bit of your story. While I didn't have the band first, from all the revisions I've read about, everyone is much happier with the sleeve. I also want to reiterate what you already know...you are not a failure, you lost 90 pounds and then the band had problems, not you!

Good luck with this process!

You're getting so close...good luck with the rest of the liquid diet!

Congratulations! I had a similar attitude about my goal weight in the beginning...I just had no idea. Great job on the scale thing, I'm always amazed with that kind of willpower. With your great attitude, you're going to continue to rock that sleeve...good job!!!

What would you like to know? A lot of people share their journeys both here in the blogs and in the main forums so you may want to start there--lots of very happy/satisfied people with their sleeves. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. I wish you luck!

Welcome! This really is a great place...keep us posted on your process.

I wish you luck on your journey! I had my surgery back in August of 2009, and this has been one of the best things I've ever done. Please let us know if you have any questions and keep us posted on how you're doing.

Excellent news Rob!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know I NEVER thought I'd get to my goal so easily...let alone below. It is such a great feeling. I'm so happy for you and your size 4 self:-)

That's great news!

What wonderful news and you look great! I can sometimes kick myself for not throwing things out too and then eating way too much of it, but the great thing about this tool is it's still there for us:-) Good luck with the rest of month three.

Congratulations Rob on the excellent loss! It sounds like you're doing everything correctly and I know my nutritionist was okay with children's vitamins for a while (didn't really like it, but was okay with it). Good luck for continued success!

It makes me so happy to read this. You deserve all of this happiness and more!!!

Congratulations, your next food phase will be here before you know it!

I'm so happy to read this! So glad things went well!!!

I'm glad you did post. Just remember that we continue learning throughout this entire journey. Good luck with it all!

I'm very excited for you!

Can't wait to scoot over for you on the losers bench. I'm so excited for you!!!!

The day will be here before you know it. I agree that you should really just try to follow your pre-op diet in the weeks leading up to it, if you have one. I think it really helped me that I had limited my carbs so much before surgery, although I did have a couple of "last suppers."

That sounds wonderful...I'm so jealous:-) Congratulations on your weight loss this month as well!

It seems you are doing well...congratulations on a successful surgery!
