Two day short of 4 months and I have gone under 200 pounds. I'm also down from a 46 waist to a comfy 36 and a few 34's. Down from 3xl shirts to large. Man It feels great. The last two months have been hard. I have been having alot of trouble keeping food down. After 6 trips to the ER, 5 CT scans, 2 upper GI, two stoma strechings I hag a ultrasound to find my gallbladder is full of sludge. I will be having it out next Monday the 29th. Hoping all will change food wise. Then lose the last 30 pounds to make my goal. And most of all be able to eat meat again. It has been very hard giving up meat. Sugar, sweets, chips and all the other no no have been easy. But I sure do miss MEAT..... I know I don't post much but I do read this site everyday, so a big THANK YOU goes out to everyone

Congratulations on breaking 200! That's a huge acknowledgment! I wish you well on your upcoming surgery. I may be having the same procedure soon. Let me know how yours goes, okay?
