I had my first follow-up Wednesday and I couldn't wait to get on the schedule. My weight was 277.4, that's 13.6 pounds gone since surgery. The morning of my surgery, which was August 1st, I weighed 291 lbs. When I started this journey, I was 299 lbs. The nurse said she could see loss in my face. I can't tell yet. Although I can feel the difference in the way that my clothes fit. I'm still on liquids. The doctor said (and I expect) that weight loss will slow down once I begin to eat. But since being on the liquid diet, I have taken some time to do menu planning. I think that will be important for me to succeed.

It's not necessarily true that your weight loss will slow once you eat. Choose wisely and it will continue to melt away. I've lost 80 in 10 months but 2 of those months I goofed off and only lost 1 lb. Still 80 freaking pounds in 10 months !!!!!!!! It happened so fast u still can't believe it.

Best wishes to you my dear lb friend

Thanks BandedMi, I have been researching menu plans with healthy options. I didn't go through all of this to go back to my unhealthy ways. And you did a great job!!! 80 lbs in 10 months, YOU GO GIRL!!!!
