I hope everyone is doing well. I broke my android tablet so I have not been on here in a while.

Things have been going well for me. I am down a total 85lbs since starting my pre-op diet in July. I have not had any dumping which I attribute to Soccermom's advice of making sure you have protien in your stomach if you are going to treat yourself. For example I had a 30gram protien shake yesterday and about 10 minutes after drinking it I treated myself to half an Oreo.

This by far has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! I will try to get on here more with my work computer and my wifes home computer because I would like to hear how everyone else is doing.

Hi pittguy! Glad to hear you are doing so well. I am 68 pounds down since the start of this journey and am feeling really good. I have ankle/knee issues which make exercise difficult. I too follow Soccermom's advice and have not had any problems with my pouch.

I am sure it is a matter of time until I am eating a whole one.... I am still in the stage where I have no hunger and no cravings. I am hoping if I treat myself in moderation I will not get back into a pattern of downing 5 Oreos with Milk when I get cravings back.

Mitzie, congrats on the 68p pounds. That is great! Ankle and knee problems are no fun and can make the journey tough at times but it is great to hear you are still having great success.
