Well.....here I am at 6 months after surgery, down 123lbs. What an awesome ride, and it only gets better.

Yay congrats! You should be so proud of yourself!

This is reason number 2,593,323 that I love the sleeve! It creates EYE CANDY for us girls!!

BTW, do you miss the Dr Pepper like that big guy thought you'd miss it?

Well, meant to correct that. My brand was Cherry Coke. I liked Dr. Pepper, but I was a Cherry Coke guy. Do I miss it.....yes and no. I have found a new addiction, Diet Peach Snapple. If I didn't have something that took its place, plain water wasn't cutting it, then I'm sure I would miss it more than I do. My Nut said Diet Peach Snapple, or regular home brewed Iced Tea with sweetner instead of sugar were great subs....and since I love Iced tea, worked for me. I have had a few sips here and there of soda, but even that hasn't been enough to make me want to go back to drinking it as much as I did. I have every confidence that my soda addiction attributed at least 70% to me being overweight. I loved the taste and the burn of the carbination, but being smaller now....I love that more than any soda!!

I drink LOTS of decaf unsweet tea myself. I use way too much splenda, equal, stevia, etc, but I get my liquids in and that's what counts.

Congrats on your weight loss!! You're looking fantastic...and I'm sorry to insult your beloved Cherry Cola by thinking it was Dr Pepper.

Holy Crap!! Pardon me, but that is amazing and awesome!! I am at my 2 month post op date, and you are a real inspiration!!

I'm 5 days post op. These pictures are such an inspiration! YAY YOU!!!!!!! I can't wait to see where I am at the 6 month anniversary. I hope I'm close to my goal or well on my way! Thanks for this post!
