This is 15 weeks 1 day after surgery, April 24, 2010. Down 50 lbs.

great job.. what is your secret? I have only managed to loose 35 lbs in 7 months.

getting there girl keep up the good work!

Thanks guys! As for my secret, I really don't know...I'm not doing anything abnormal although I probably eat less than is recommended, I am just rarely hungry so I have to remind myself to eat something sometimes! 37 lbs in 7 months is still awesome! Before the surgery I would never have dreamed of losing 37 lbs in only 7 months, so keep up the good work!!

Hi there! Thank you for the pics!! I am pre-op and need to see before and after and your pics are GREAT! You look good down 50+ pounds. How was the surgury and your recovery time. That seems to be my biggest fear right now is how people recover. Help! LOL Karma~

Thanks Karma! Honestly, I have heard many different stories about people dealing with surgery and recovery time, and each one has had a different experience. In my experience, I did not have a tough recovery, I left the surgery center a few hours after waking up, spent a few days taking it easy then was back to normal fairly soon afterward!
