You rock! Thanks for doing such a great job on the spread sheet and volunteering to update it each Monday! I really appreciate it!

Nope! I'm actually a hairstylist, I just know my way around the computer because I took several courses in highschool.

Thanks Lindsey, it looks great. I have to get my butt moving. I did Zumba on Sunday night & my muscles are killing me ever since. The only exercise i did this week was free weights the other night before bed. Wanted to hit the elliptical last night, but had a love/hate relationship with the clothes in my closet yesterday morning...mostly all too big, so instead of doing the exercise, i hit the goodwill store & grabbed some shirts....a size 18!!!! WHOOOHOOO. Spent less than $15 and got 2 pants and 6 shirts and a coat. I'm still pretty sore today but it's still a good sore and i'm getting on that elliptical tonight if it kills me!!!

I am having a good day and hope everyone is, too! I had my first fill yesterday. I don't feel anymore restricted than I did before the fill. Maybe at my Feb. appt. I will receive an additional fill.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
