Feeling great so far...pureed food is going well and looking forward to chewing. Down 31 lbs..since start of liquids pre op. Only 120 to go! I like the positivity.Some sites have a lot of people sharing failure stories...not good for morale. I hope to stay motivated to keep it off permanently.

Congrats your doing awesome

Thanks! I certainly don't mean to diminish anyone whose gained weight back...just to clarify. God knows I know about gaining Wright. I just don't think it's Avicenna by any means. I'm really focusing on changing my relationship with food and making this a permanent lifestyle change.

Make that " inevitable " ..autocorrect

I'm also focusing on making a life change.

The more you lose the more you want to lose Stay focused, exercise and watch your portion sizes and eat the right foods and you will not fail.

I know I'm on a pink cloud right now...but I really think this is the permanent change I needed.I have a therapy dog...we're starting agility training soon so that will help keep me in shape.Working a two year old boxer is great exercise!
