Hard to believe it's been 4 months already...I'm down 76 lbs and have gone from 18/20 to a comfortable 14...i made it to ONEderland finally and so excited about it...i haven't weighed in the 100's in over 10 years! I feel like a new person. I love this site and all the great people who post...you've helped me in waysyou will never know.

Good luck everyone!

The things that go down easier have more carbs .

I've decided that weighing everyday could easily become an obstacle even though I hadn't had a day without ...

I can't even tell you how much difference 10 more days can make...I feel amazing! I have no more stitches and I can drink water (more than a little sip at a time)! I am so much better now!

I know that I said that I was going to be a "by the book" patient but after feeling so weak for a few days, I decided to begin my pureed foods a few days early and it made such a big difference. I could tell within 5 minutes that that was what my body was missing and felt so much better. ...
