I am down 102 lbs which I am very excited about. And it was in 6 months. I remember early on I would see others post about that much weight loss in that amount of time and I would hope and pray I would be one of them and I was. YEAH!
And I found out last night that I am only 20 lbs heavier than my best friend which is exciting because I have always been heavier than her and for the past few years I have wanted to be her size and I almost am! She is on the weight loss track right now too and is down 10lbs which is exciting for her.

I need to get a picture done and posted.

70 lbs is not a slow loss at all. I still don't see the 100lb loss either. At my 6 month check, my surgeons nurse said it might take over a year for my brain to catch up to the way I look. We will see. Now that I know what my friend weighs I have a better picture of what I actually look like because looking in the mirror I don't see it.

You are coming up fast on your surgery. Good luck! Just remember you will not lose every week of this journey. I would go 2 weeks with nothing and then suddenly be 8 lbs lighter. Don't freak out.
Get liquids in early on. Very important. Protein will come after that. Don't rush yourself to the next step and stay with your surgeons plan.

Thank you for the advise I will keep that in the back of my mind. I am sure there will be weeks I need to remember this. Looking forward to getting to the other side of surgery!

That is fantastic! Congrats!

I am really hoping to follow in your footsteps. I am 11 days out and have lost 15.6lbs, so I am really hoping I can lose 100lbs in 6 months.
