Wow, CONGRATS!! I'm almost 6 months and down and have lost 82 pounds! Can't wait to be in the 140's! That's my goal! You've made it, great job!

Congrats on being in the 200's!! Excellent accomplishment!!

Oh ok. My doctor just had them covered with a liquid bandaid and when the bandaid washed off I was done. They closed on there on.

The day before my liver shrink diet was Easter Sunday. I had all my old favorites. I started liver shrink on a Monday and followed it as stayed and lost 16 pounds. I'm almost six months out and follow the plan. So far so good down 82 pounds!

I didn't have any stitches. I had a drain that I had taken out after 1 week. What type of stitches do you have?

It's very normal to stall at the point where you are. I stalled also and even gained weight. I thought I was going to be the one the surgery didn't work for. I am now one week shy of six months and I'm down 82 pounds. I started at 268.5. My hardest stall weeks were through week 6-12. After that my body started adjusting and so far I lose between 1.5 -3 pounds a week. Any loss is good. Just follow your doctors plan and the weight will fall off!

Congrats! You look great!

I can eat white rice and pasta with no problems. I just tried pasta last weekend. I'm almost six months out. I am going to try to limit rice and pasta to maybe a couple times a year.

Highest weight 268.5, today 188.6!

I tried nectar chocolate truffle today and it was fantastic!!

So excited and proud of myself! I ran my first 5k today! My goal was to run it in 45 minutes! I beat my goal and did it in 42:05 minutes!! Feeling on top of the world! Amazing what you can do when you drop 75.5 pounds!

I joined a 5k training program. We had a group run on Mondays and ran on our own two additional nights a week. The class was 9 weeks and the graduation was a 5k race. The couch to 5k apps you can get on your smart phone are great also. I joined the training group because I liked that it had a race at the end of the program. I've attached a picture of me with my completion medal! It was such an amazing feeling to complete the race!
