We're sort of surgery sisters ;) Congrats on being one year out, and at such a healthy weight!

Thanks for your inspiring words! I'm less then 2 months out and doing great. I really have no idea what it is like after hitting your goal. You have added so much help in looking forward.

I feel so in control now, following all of the rules. I can't imagine what it's like even a year out or being able to eat more.

Thanks for your words and insights!!

What an amazing post. I am only three months out and that is great advice, all of it. I struggle with testing my limits. I struggle with not drinking after a meal. I struggle with eating dense protein. Your post is a great reminder of what is at stake for me. I printed it out and will post it on my refrigerator as a constant reminder of the direction I am headed.

Thank you sincerely, and congratulations... and I am so, so grateful for this forum. Honestly I think it is the only thing that can help keep me on the path.
