I haven't been posting here lately, been a rough couple of weeks (unrelated to WLS). Lost my job unexpectedly which sucked, but I started my own business and my wife was able to find work so things are looking up.

And most importantly, as of this morning, for the first time in probably 25 years or more, there was a number 1 in the first spot on the scale! Down exactly 115 lbs in just about 6 months, amazing. Had my doctor's visit today and they said that the goal is to lose 70% of excess weight in 1 year, I'm at 80% down in 6 months, so they're very happy (and so am I!)

Just felt like sharing!

Wow congratulations and blessings on your new business too!

Congrats! You look great?

Congratulations. Keep up the good work!!

Awesome job!!

Great job! I'm getting sleeved in 10 days and have about 100-120lbs to lose. If I can get anywhere close to that by the end of the year I'll be thrilled! Any advice for the newbies?

Good luck!! In terms of advice, I posted a ton of it in my initial thread I made after my surgery, rather than redo it all, check this out:

Congrats on the weight loss & good luck with your new business!

Awesome thanks, I'll check it out.
