Hi all! I must say I'm doing pretty well. Down to two Tylenol every other day. Stomach is still swollen. No more gas. I can sleep on my tummy. Just missing a little fat like a piece of meat! I can't wait until January!

Hope everyone else is doing as amazing as I am!!

Congrats!!! I'm soo glad you're doing well!!

Hi! I'm 7 days post-op. Pain is moderate. I don't have much swelling anymore, thank goodness! Have you lost any weight since your surgery? I've only lost 1 pound! I think my body has gone into starvation mode and is hoarding the fat!!

612belly: what's gonna happen in January?

Hi. I've lost 16 pounds since surgery. So I'm doing ok. When I stall a little bit I find I need to get more fluids.

I think January I'll feel far enough removed to regain a normal life!

Here are my stats:

236 first appt

226 day of surgery August 16

211 current weight

5'8"

Those are great stats! And i like your goal for January! :-)
