Today is actually 8 weeks and one day post op but when I got on the scale today I was down 50.5 lbs!!!!!!!!

I was so excited, I had to double and triple check!!

I got back to the my doc on Dec 30th for my next check up. I feel so good, and am not struggling with my eating. I am doing two shakes a day and one small meal (what my doc wanted me to do) and because the weight is coming off it makes it much easier to stay on track. I am trying to work the hell out of this sleeve as much as I can in the early months.

Just wanted to share, this site has been so helpful I hope that I can be helpful to all you out there just starting your journey!!

CONGRATS!!!! Whoa, that is amazing! Happy dance! :)

YAY!!!! That's wonderful! Love your attitude.

Great news! Congratulations!

Oh my goodness, I so needed to see this positivity today!! THANK YOU for posting! My surgery is 12/31 and today I went to the hospital for pre-op blood work, EKG, signing consents, etc. and I kind of am freaking out! Thinking how scared I am and the risk involved. I logged on to see some positive and be encouraged and ... well, it really helped to see your post. THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS! It sounds like you are on a path to better living. You should be so proud of yourself!

@JaneJaneDoe. I know how you're feeling my surgery is scheduled for Monday and I'm starting to get very nervous but this site certainly helps ease the nervousness!!!!

That is amazing!!! Keep up the good work! I can't wait to get sleeved!!!!

@JaneJaneDoe I am so glad to help!! Believe me I know it won't be easy but it WILL be so worth it. I keep saying I can't imagine how I will feel in another two months!! Good Luck on your journey!!!!
