WOW! What a wonderful transformation!! If it wasn't for the fact that you are wearing the same glasses I could have sworn I was looking at a totally different person in the after pictures. I know you have come to realize you were not as happy as you thought you were in the before pictures. However I have no doubt of your happiness in the after pictures. I know what it takes to lose such a huge amount of weight and know you have a much better life from this loss. You look wonderful and know you will get to your goal if you haven't already gotten there.

I am almost 11 months post op and my weight loss has slowed down. I will not settle for where I am now as I still have 40 pounds to go. However it is getting harder and I have begun to struggle.Did you encounter any stalls along the way and if so what did you do to get through those times? Any suggestions on what you did it get through the difficult times would be appreciated.

Thank you so much.. Slowing down is normal as you start eating more and your body just adjusts itself to stable state. I have not lost a single kg for about 4 months now but I am past goal weight and have a lot of excess skin to take off...do you move more now that you are significantly lighter?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
