Hey everyone I'm a Newbie, had surgery Nov 22, 2013 I feel better,but think the weight is coming off slow. But I'm patient because I'm losing inches. I try my best to keep off that beast the scale. I feel better and look better, which Is a blessing it self. started at 257, day of surgery 237, now 204. It can b hard some days getting my Water in when it's busy, and I lost track. But I got a handle on that.
