I am one month post op and am feeling so much better now! I can eat real food again and my hormones have stabalized and I am enjoying life so much more! I was 298 on the day of surgery and now 4 weeks later I am 277. I am still on my stall from a week ago and havent lost any weight in over a week but I did loose 6 inches from my waist line!! My heighest weight was 344 and I havent been this current weight since 2002. I am very happy I just really want the scale to start moving again!

Thanks for reading, just wanted to share my joy with you all!

It is a lot of fun NOW lol those first 2 weeks were a killer. Its so funny because every new food I try is like the best thing I ever ate! Its so funny because I ate green beans last night and I swear green beans have never tasted so good before. I really thought I would never feel good again during those first 2 weeks but I am so happy now and its only been one month!!
