Wow! Happiness is.....
I started Optifast on April 10 and lost 9 pounds. I had RNY on April 24 and have lost 21 pounds. 30 pounds total! Yesterday I wore a pair of pants that I haven't fit into in the last 3-4 years. I have spent the last 20 years trying all manner of diets..Jenny Craig, weigh****chers, Slim fast, South beach, The Zone, etc. etc. etc. Nothing ever worked. I could not be happier with my decision to do this for myself. Thank you, TWH!! Lets keep the good times rolling!
Excellent! Keep up the great work! YAY!

Your post brings me back to the way I felt starting the process after Opti and surgery 1 year'ish ago.....isn't it amazing and awesome. Keep up the good work and do not stress when you hit a stall....it is normal.
Good luck.
Hey !
That's awesome ! You're doing great , and it just keeps getting better ! I love the trying on stuff phase , I had loads of beautiful clothes that I've kept over the years , just because they were lovely and I really didn't want to get rid of them . All different sizes ,because like you , I've tried loads of diets and programs and so on . Sometimes ( not so much now cos I'm past the smallest I remember being ) its so much fun to go into the bedroom and have a wee fashion show all to yourself Lol ! Great fun !
Keep up the good work and enjoy every minute ! I agree , best thing I've done for myself so far .
