That's awsome!! I made my 6 months today twenty lbs from my goal

Thank you all

Honestly its been messing with my head too two months out now. Its a new way of life its going to take some getting use to I just tell myself good thing I like left overs or Id be throwing food away left and right! Mind over matter!

Im a dispatcher sit down job but, very busy/ ststressful I was back to work in ten days.

Im 2 months post op I also was 210 pre op and Im 178 now Im so glad you said something about the soda because I just started slowly drink them again diet though. My goal is also 130. Like the lady above said 39 pounds is 39 pounds! Also my Dr told me to allow up to eighteen months for full weight loss hang in there!!

I was sleeved 3/14/2012 25lbs and counting Im happy I did it to CONGRATS!

Well Im three weeks in and things are getting alot better. I've been on soft foods crawfish, salmon, shrimp mostly with greens or spinach no carbs. I've lost 20lbs so far surgery date 3/14/2012 seemed to take for ever I was worried I wouldnt loose the typical 30lbs in the first month which is my goal. Im cool with others eating around me now. Dr says I can start working out next week so can't wait to start that and really get the ball to rolling. I have to admit I still haves pain in the site area but, Dr says that's normal. So far I feel this is one of the best decisions I've made in a long while and, Im excited for my journey ahead!! =0)

I took off a week but, needed a few extra days took off ten days in all Im a dispatcher so desk job Im three weeks in and still bringing in my heating pad to use @ times you might need a lil more time off hun in your line of work. GOOD LUCK!

Had my VGS done 3/14/2012 been on the liquid diet ever since hoping by Friday on my follow up I am able to go to puree but, sticking to the diet has became easier with each day I feel stronger. Hoping to be released back to work next week. Fifteen pounds down after 6days!!! 209 to 195!

@kbs1010 thanx & CONGRATZ on the 4lbs loss sure beats gaining!! Look forward to seeing more of your progress!
