How has everyone been doing? I've lost 130lbs so I'm happy about that. However I would like to lose 20 more and now I've been struggling a little lately as far as my eating. Maybe one of the reasons is because I'm not on here as much as I use to be (it was a little hard when they were first making the transition to the new site), plus I could use more support from people who has had the surgery.

Same with me 130lbs down and wanting 20 more. I can eat now without getting sick and that makes me nervous that it'll lead me into old habits. But, now I have the tools to keep myself in track. Mind over matter, right!? Lol congrats on your loss!!

My surgery was May 21st, and I'm down 94 pounds. I'm very happy with my progress, but right now, I'm stuck. I gained two pounds and the scale isn't moving. I'm trying to get down to the 100's, and hope to lose about 60 more pounds total for a goal weight of 150.

My surgery was May 28. I am down 121 pounds. I have 29 more to go to hit my goal. I am in a size 12 now. Still tempted to buy bigger. I hold up the clothes and think there is no way that will fit...then it does. Still surreal.

One thing that does bother me though. When I first had my surgery of course I was eating just a few bites at a time. Now I can order a meal out and not feel guilty because I eat about 1/3 of it or so. But I have people say to me, wow you sure ate a lot, or I didn't think you would eat that much. It is so irritating! First, why are you watching what I am eating and 2) I am still only eating a tiny portion compared to what I used to eat...or what you are eating for that matter.... Ugh. I just started saying, yea I know...but then I am surprised too at how much you eat....that usually shuts them up. Guess that is a small price to pay when you get to finally live a normal life...

Hope you all are doing great!

May 21, 2013 and now 9 months later, down 120 lbs. I feel better, try to eat healthier and workout 4-5 times a week. weight lost has slowed to 5-7 lbs a month compared to 15-20 lbs a month in yhe early months, but that is OK.

My surgery was 5/30/13. I've lost 107lbs. I'm 5' tall and weigh 126. I'm in 8-10 pants and small or medium tops. I'd like to lose 10 more pounds and that'll probably happen when the weather breaks and I can walk and work in my gardens again. Life is good! :-)
