Wow! So exciting! I will be following Jan 8th! I am so excited and getting ready! I have been eating really little trying to get ready for my liquid diet phase! So far I have lost 23lbs since starting. Just ready to keep it rolling and be on the other side of the surgery! Good luck!

I made it to the one year mark. It's been a slow slog with mostly steady progress. I've learned a lot about myself. I've learned to enjoy physical activity for the first time in my entire life; only swimming though, I still don't run or walk or lift weights or sweat.
Non-scale victories have been plentiful.
No more CPAP machine
No more low back pain
Smaller clothes sizes (20 - 14, 44DD to 36F), Size M hoodie!!!
A regular hotel-sized towel goes around my body
Comfort in the middle seat on a Southwest Flight
Airplane seatbelt to spare
I can look at my privates!
I feel energized and ready to tackle my last 50 pounds. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and insights.
I used to find it was very easy to regain muscle, but as I got older, it does result in a lot of soreness when I overdo it. I stick to water exercise now.
You might want to get a smart scale that measures your muscle weight. It is interesting to see it go up.

I went to my final class yesterday and now I am excited. I know it will be hard at first, but now I am starting to focus on all the reasons to do it, and all the great things that will come along with massive weight loss!

Thank you - I did post over here as it is nice to hear from folks that have been post op a little longer than we have. It lets us know that what we are doing is worth it. Keep up the good work and keep coming back to this site, it has been an invaluable resource for me.
