Awesome! You are doing fantastic. You will be at goal in no time!

That is so awesome!!!!! Good for you!

I think that psychologically this is a world of difference between 299 and 300. You must have been so psyched to see that 2. Amazing!! And motivating!!

Thanks all - and Mila you are very right; it was a great boost.

Excellent! I'm a few pounds away myself. Can't wait.

Good for you!!! Awesome work.

Well this one took 73lbs to achieve. Next goal is target weight by Christmas.

Youve got this! Just know you will NEVER see 300lbs again!! I remember that feeling!! Congratssss!!!

Nice!!!!

Congratulations, one step at a time and this was a giant leap! Good job, its all down hill (literally) from here!

Congrats !! I haven't been around for a while and was thinking about you and how you might be going looks like you are doing fantastic !!! Keep up the great work and you rock those two riffics !!!!

This is so good. Well done Jerome!

I just realised I must have tipped from the 300s to the 200s in the past three weeks also. Perhaps I should start counting in pounds, not kilos? I've been waiting to break through the 100kg barrier... I could have celebrated the two-rifficks all along!

Loverly - i count in pounds, kilos and stone - and celebrate all!

Hi
Thanks for the hello :-)
Glad to see you're doing well.
I'm now under 300 pounds for the first time in 18 years do I totally understand how you feel. I'm still huge but I'm back to the weight I was when I was 22 and I know it's going to keep reducing.
It's very early days for me, I'm only 9 days post op and still on the liquids stage.
I don't feel hungry as such but I have had food cravings. I think I miss chewing haha!
The next few weeks will be difficult I think, getting used to puréed food and finding out what I can and can't eat but its a means to an end. Eventually everything will be a bit more 'normal'.

Yes - i think pureed is the worst stage on this journey. It was when i really felt low and questioned what i had done. It passes and it ts o much better. I would say that by week 9 you start feeling like yourself again - a much slimmer, fitter, yourslf

Just "keep on, keeping on", and the weight will come off. You are going to continue to love this journey, and the benfits of this new lifestyle. I wish you continued success and keep us posted on your success.
