Hi! I have lost 104 in the 6 months since surgery. I lost 15 pounds on the 2 weeks of the liquid diet just prior to surgery and then the rest I'd lost on my own throughout the prep for surgery. So, a total of 156, but not just in 6 months!

As far as any tips, I stick to the plan like glue; whatever my dietician had planned for each stage, I took it as gospel. I also started moving pretty much right away. Nothing crazy, but I bought myself a FitBit and I get in at LEAST 10 000 steps a day.

I remember thinking it was coming off slowly too. It will work if you work it. Stick with it. It's so worth it!

When I was pre-op, I remember loving seeing everyone's progress and vowed to take pictures along the way. Aside from forgetting to take pics my day of surgery, I've done pretty well at remembering! They really do tell the story well!
