So I am now at 5 weeks as of 8/21/17 and I am really happy with my progress thus far. I have lost 10 lbs since my 3 week stall broke. As of now I am at a loss of 80lbs total. 40lbs since surgery on 7/17/17.

Height - 6'6"

Highest Weight - 415

Weight at Surgery- 375

Current Weight - 335

I am enjoying eating different healthy recipes and trying new things. I even got on a carousel with my daughter for the first time and it was an amazing experience. I was happy that I fit. Weight wasnt my only problem Im also 6'6" so that brings on a whole other set of issues. Lol! But clothes are fitting more loose now and im up to walking 4 miles a day.

My inspirational fact today is to eat slow, slow slow. It will help you recognize your fullness and also prevent you from over eating.

Hope everyone has a great week and weekend.

I'm very happy for you, you are doing spectacularly well! I know it hasn't been long, but surely you haven't lost 40 pounds in just 5 days - must be a typo. Was your surgery in July?

Forget that! I can see by the title of your post that it was. Great job!
