I hit 7 months Dec 8th. Gone from 342 lbs to 260 lbs. I almost cried when I saw my pre op photo and the most recent one. Looking forward to getting under 200 lbs!

Fantastic.

How does the diet go? How about exercise? Any rules of the road you have learned or would share with those getting surgery this month? (like me)

Bearman,

My suggestion is to be ready for the up and downs of this journey. Follow your docs rules and advise. Understand that you will hit a stall about a month post op and it is normal. It does not mean you have stopped losing weight or done something wrong. Try not to measure your success by the silly number on the metal box.

As for exercise my suggestion is to get started as soon as you can. Go slow at first.

Finally write down a list of goals when you reach those goals write down new ones. Anything is possible and your dreams can come true!

Good luck!
