Surgery date...5/24

The word has come down that my surgery will be in one month. I am practicing chewing, chewing, chewing...
I took my measurements today and hope to take my pictures and post soon!!!
I am loving life today!!!!
Any advice for this newbie?

 Here's the best advice I can offer:

Get fills regularly! No fills = no restriction = you blaming yourself for lack of weight loss

Celebrate the smallest of successes!

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT get down on yourself if you plateau. You WILL! I did for months sometimes. That's part of the process. Sometimes you gain, sometimes you lose... it doesn't matter... eventually you will get there. Just push forward!

Tweak often!! If you are stalling, start analyzing what you are doing and tweak tweak tweak... make little changes until the weight starts dropping off again.
