City news at 6
My surgery was May 23rd. Before opti I was 305 and was 289 day of surgery. So now right around 195. My own goal was to get below 200 as I hadn't been there for 26 years and the clinic has my goal 180-210. So I am at there mid point. Last visit in dec for my 6 month checkup said right on track said I was averaging 3lbs week. But some weeks wouldn't loose any and others would be 5+ but they were happy haven't lost to fast. Even at my weight now I am happy but mostly now just want to tone and is weight slows down I ok with it.
Good luck with your surgery
Kittykatt1329 - wow how fantastic, I haven't been in the one hundreds since high school. I would love to know how it feels to be 150 but, anything between 150 and 200 will do just fine.
Cant-wait14- A hall way buddy would be marvelous. Who is doing your surgery? I have Dr Sohi.

It's hard to say. i haven't really had lot of issues. Only was right after surgery. The gas pain was unbearable. I couldn't pass gas and was so bloated, and did not want to even drink my protein shake.
I think my issue to still trying to eat slow. Sometimes I forget and feel the pain. I have been lucky never has any dumping issues.
Some of my friends still can't believe I would give up drinking for this, but I always say before I could only go out and drink with you now I can go out and do activities. As well I am expecting that I will be a grandmother in next few years so I will be there for them and able to get out and play with them. So anytime I feel I am having bad day I just think of the future I am giving myself.
