I'm one month-ish out, 32 lbs. down and feeling good. Moving onto swallowing pills. Changing protein shake powder, also getting some unflavored. And as soon as my bronchitis is better back to walking twice a day! I have no doubt that I have made a great decision. Bring on month TWO!

Woot woot! You got this! I love hearing your story because it is going to be mine soon. Hearing about you doing so well makes me feel so much better. I bet by the end of this week I've slept about 15 hours. I'm so freaked out. My surgery is Nov. 5. I'm on edge, LOL! So happy for you and thank you for sharing. Seriously it means a lot. Please keep sharing your progress. I still haven't worked up the nerve to show my before yet. I think it will only happen when I have an after.

I hear you. The night before I had the best of intentions on getting a great, restful nights sleep. Actual results=4hrs. I finally put my before pictures up to hold myself accountable. My thought process is, "now there is no turning back. My befores are out in the internet universe. From now on there will be much better pictures. Can only get better from here.".

Congrats, keep it up and you will meet your goal in no time. I am scheduled to have my VSG surgery Dec. 5th and I am extremely nervous. Hearing about your success has helped to ease my nervousness somewhat, thank you.

Listen to your docs, and NUTs. And always listen to your own body.
