Hey, thanks for your words of encouragement. You look great in your before pics, I'd love to see your progress! And by the way, the kitty is adorable...

Hi Nicole, I'm more than happy to answer your questions (although I'm far from any kind of expert.) I lost 9 lbs prior to my surgery. Don't ask me how, because I didn't do any pre-surgery regimen.

Surgery itself was a breeze. I went in at 6am, and left by noon the next day. I've never had any surgery/anesthesia before this, but everything went so quickly and I was in virtually no pain. The nurses were surprised at how much I was moving around.

My weight loss in the first month was about 15 lbs, second month was about 9, and third month only 7. Part of the slow down is that you lose less when you're no longer on all liquids. And the other part is that I don't always make the best food choices . Let me know if I can be of any other help!

aw, thanks! i have about 60 lbs to go.
