I am so excited to say I AM HALF WAY THERE!!!! I weigh in weekly at my PCP office and today I officially made it past the half way mark!! I cannot believe it. I am two months out as of yesterday, and I lost about 20 lbs pre-surgery (I still count it though since it was weight loss!). I am learning different things I can and cannot eat (I do not do well with reheated meats -  think it dries them out too much they get stuck and I throw up), and have found a few treats that I can tolerate. I also found out I am a dumper with foods that are higher in fat (like peanut butter), but I was hoping I would be a dumper to help keep me on track.

So far, I have not had any regrets.

One question though, I have a hard time with my calcium pills because they are so big. I break them in half, but they quite often feel to still get stuck. Is this going to always be a problem for me, or will they eventually go down better? I have some BA chewables, but they are so nasty, I have a hard time taking those too.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The Dr office said to break anything larger than an aspirin.

i dont like the BA iron so i get the orange Celebrate. but i have to take 2 a night, but they're actually really good to me. i don't have to just choke em down n deal with it. iron is fav vitamin of the day lol that brand has vitamin C in it too so that's always good :)

BA has a soft calcium chew in different flavors (kind of like a caramel or taffy candy) that is MUCH better than the dry chewable calcium tablets. 

Congrats on being halfway!

I also got some BA chewables.  They are huge and chalky.  I crush them up and add to my protein shake.  Hope that helps.  Calcet creamy bites are yummy and I have one a day as a treat. 
Congrats on your weight loss!!
