Thanks, I feel great. I didn't have a ton of issues before surgery but I do have a ton more energy and my knees and joints are all much happier these days!

You are kicking it !!!!

You were wise to take action to get ahead of the issues before they started showing up. Very well done !!!

Thanks Dub!

I have had too many family members die way too young from weight related health issues that could have been prevented so I knew it was time to get this under control.

Aww, thank you. I have gone the low carb route. I only drink Water or the Vitamin Water zero (I have done the water for a long time before surgery as well). I stick the the basic rules of eat Protein first then veggie then if any room carbs. Most days I end up at about 70 grams Protein, 40 or less carbs, and about 800 calories. I do eat a bit of things I like here and there but I always count it in my numbers for the day and it's always just a bite.

Congratulations on starting your journey with this. Your off to a great start!
