Hi all. Im new to posting on this site. I always read what everyone else posts and it has been extremely helpful.

I had my surgery 11/17/14. Everything went amazingly smooth and now finally have my energy back.

When i started the process i weighed 252. By using my fitness pal i got down to 230. Then my pre op diet got me to 225. And last night i weighed in at 199.1. So im quite happy.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

Wow!!! Awesome job! I had my surgery on 11/17 as well. You stats are similar to mine. I lost 14 pounds to start off, 16 pounds on pre-op diet. I weighed 304 on start date, 274 on day of surgery and today I weighed 255.3 So, I have lost 49.5 pounds total.

I am so happy for you to be under 200! That is an awesome milestone! I am hoping to be below 250 when I return back to school on 1/2 or at least when the kids return on 1/5.
