[kellyw74 258]

Thanks again for your nice words.

M2G, I did Kaiser's pre-op diet for about 4-5months while going thru their process and lost that weight.

lsereno, I have bought myself a fab gift. I got invisalign to straighten my teeth! i am excited. i also have lots of new clothes that i actually look nice it for a change!

Maintenance for me is very scary. I have never done that before. Sure, I have lost lots of weight in the past, but only to put it right back on again!! I know that my sleeve will not allow me to do that this time, but it still scares me.

I will continue to post pics as time goes on!! Hugs to you all.

^{I think my biggest reason for getting to goal so quickly was that I followed the rules of my surgeon.}

^{I did and still do eat my Protein first and rarely have room for anything else, I try to eat a bite or two of some vegetable everyday tho. I also eat a piece of fruit everyday. However, I did not do this until about 4 1/2 months out, I ate ONLY protein.}

^{I still do not eat chips, Pasta, rice, bread, etc. and I don't miss it at all!! I just recently ate some chocolate for the first time since surgery and I am glad I waited till being so close to goal to allow myself treats.}

^{I I also exercise just about everyday for at least 45 minutes. I started out walking and now I jog a couple times a week.}

^{Do what your dr. tells you and you will be fine!!}

^{Kelly :cheers2:}

Way to go Kelly, what a great acomplishment. I too thank God every day for this tool we have been given. It is a life changer and we have been given a second chance. We now have a new lifestyle to maintain and the best line I have heard is we now eat to live and not live to eat.
