I had my first labs drawn and everything came back good. My iron was a little bit low so I am going to take an iron tablet everyday, but the dr said it was nothing to worry about. I am also off all of my meds for diabetes. No more shots for me. I am so happy. I am down to taking 4.5 pills aday from taking 18. I feel so good. Wish I would have had surgery long before I did. This has been the best thing for me.  I am down 97.6 pounds. Can't wait to hit the century mark. I need to lose 18 more pounds to be in onederland and 27 to hit my goal weight. This has been an incredible journey and i am glad i have all of you to share it with.

Congratulations to everyone. My 5 month anniversary is on the 25th. I have lost 104 pounds (10 pre-op) and I feel wonderful. As for clothes, I can wear some 14's, some 16's and some 18's. It just depends on the brand. I have alot more energy. I eat about 800-1200 calories per day. 800 if its mostly protein, 1200 if I don't pay attention to the dressings and other extra calories. I wasn't really worried about eating full calorie full fat dressings when I was only able to eat 1/2 cup of food but now I have started to really watch it because it will put me up to the 1200 cal mark quickly. I still don't eat white carbs or sugar. I have also not had a carbonated drink since surgery and do not plan to. I live on Crystal light peach tea and lemonade. I don't do protein drinks anymore because I get the recommended amounts from food. I have about 46 more pounds until goal. I go through the 2 week loss/ 2 week stall like most of you. I up my water and change what I eat when I feel like I am stalling and that seems to help. Thank you all for sharing. It's nice to see that everyone is succeeding!

My five month with be in 3 more days.  I'm down 60 pounds.  I was in a size 22 pants - 3x top and I now wear a size 14/16 pants and xl top.  I feel a million times better.  I have tons more energy!  Glad you all are doing well and look forward to next month's update.

I am doing great.  My weight loss is lower but guess I'm considered a "lightweight" and it comes off slower.  I'm doing everything I should with 90-100 gm protein a day, 120+ OZ of fluid, supplements, exercise, etc.

My plan allows me 4 oz food per meal and I stick to that unless I'm having a protein shake and I can drink much more because it just slides down.

I can't eat dense protein in the evening.  As the day goes on I feel full and if I eat dense protein, I have trouble getting my evening meds down.

I really won't be 5 months till next week, but close enough.
