Ok....I had surgery on 4/24/12 and have now lost 81lb since pre-op diet. I still have 56lb to go. I started at 297 and am now 216. I am 5'8". I started at a 24 and am now wearing a 16. I have been in a stall for the last 2 weeks with minimal inches lost as well (1/2 inch off hips only.) However, I have not been to the gym in the last 2 weeks due to shcool starting and all of that stress. I will be going tomorrow and resuming my 4-5 times per week. Hopefully I will start to loose again. I get about 800-1000 cal per day. I was really hoping to get down to under 200lb before our vacation at the end of the month, but I am thinking that I will probably not happen. I have not had any complications and have a sleeve of steel that tolerates everything. I don't eat everything though.

Looking Good!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!
