Well...I made it!
So, I am 2 days under being 5 months post op and am officially down 100 pounds!!!! I can't believe it, and I feel fantastic. Food no longer controls me, nor do I deprive myself and I love working hard and sweating. My entire life, I have imagined what it would feel like if I could just lose 100 pounds, and I never thought that I would know what this feeling is like. Surprisingly, aside from having more energy, and feeling more alive, healthy and confident, I don't feel all that much different. I feel like people are seeing me for me and not my waistline.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Thank you everyone for your support! As far as how many carbs, calories etc...I honestly don't count them much. I stick to protein and always eat it first. I don't cook carb side dishes any more, because I know the protein is plenty to fill me up. I average 800-1000 calories a day. I exercise for an hour an an hour and a half 5 days a week, alternating between Zumba, Spin and working with a personal trainer.
