I can't believe it has been almost 6 months since my surgery (almost 4 since my last post whoops). I am not going to hit my goal of 100lbs down by my 6 month surgiversarry, but that's ok since I made it to 85 (and still counting). I didn't loose as much as I wanted the month of December, but still did okay.

It's been such a long time since I have post anything. I am now 7 weeks out from surgery, and have lost 45lbs!! I am now down into the 270's. I am so excited.

Its been 16 days and the "head hunger" has hit me hard. It's a constant struggle to not go back into my old habits of eating junk, thats how I got this way in the first place. I haven't went back to work yet, I took 3 weeks off (just because I could) but am now kinda of regretting that decision. At least work would have kept my mind off food.
I am reading that if I drink too fast that will stretch my stomach out? I dont remember my surgeon ever telling me something like

So excited!! I lost 29lbs (pre/post op)!!! I'm so excited!! I am 12 days out from surgery, so that's 29 lbs in 24 days!! The dietitian gave the okay today to start on soft foods, again rather excited. I got my release to go back to work, but (hehe) took an extra week off!! Things are good.....
