I am 9 months post-op, and have lost nearly 100 pounds thus far. I have quite a ways to go still, but I thought I would share. Pre-op I was a size 30, and I'm fitting into an 18/20 right now. My normal routine is to be at the gym 6 days a week, though I've missed out the past couple of weeks due to being sick, and then I have a sinus surgery on Thursday. I also started my own blog this week, which I am hoping to get some followers on, so it doesn't seem like I'm talking to myself. :) Here is the link for that:

This was the most important investment I could have ever made, and I know this tool is going to help me to both reach my goal, as well as maintain it. I'm anxious to facilitate the change from weight loss to maintenance, so I can focus more on my fitness level as opposed to the number on the scale or the size of my clothes. :) Here is the before/current picture:
