I'm still here and doing well, I continue to follow my surgeons plan, the only way I could be happier is if someone sucked the fat out over night. lol, but I knew what I was getting into, thanks to the vets on OH, and I was blessed with a great surgeon, who I trusted with my life, Ive had weeks that the scale didn't move much but I don't get upset anymore, I'm doing what I should, so I know it will, on the weeks I don't loose much I always loose inches. I started at size 24 jeans, now I'm in an 18, tops where 2XL now I'm in a large, cant believe it, in just under 4 months out, I still see my reflection and do a double take, I'm learning to love myself somewhere under the weight Id lost myself. I cant post before and after pics, I'm computer illiterate. just wanted everyone to know I'm doing good, don't post much but I lurk often. want to wish you all a healthy Christmas!!!

I'm Still a work in progress, I wont give up the quest to reclaim my life, I will be whole again someday!

Looks like you're doing great! We had our surgeries on the same day, started at about the same weight, give or take a couple of lbs., and even lost about the same prior to surgery. At my 3 month recently, which was a couple of weeks late, the NUT said they look for a 25-30% loss of excess weight at that point, and I was at 34%. You've lost a couple more lbs than me, so I'd say you are also ahead of schedule!
