Great post Carol. Inspiring. I am 20 months out and was just telling my wife the other day that the honeymoon period was easy. I am working my tool now. Much tougher than anticipated. I crave carbs as well and need to be careful what I add to my diet. Keep up the great work. Mike

Tremendous post!! I'm only 18 lbs. from "normal". And I have to admit that I'm a bit frightened of maintenance. But, you just made me a bit less anxious about it. You have been my biggest inspiration here. You're always so kind and helpful. Thank you for being a big part of this community!!

Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration! My surgery is scheduled for 8/10 and I could not be more ready to begin the rest of my life! I can't wait to start living like I've always dreamed of. Thank you for putting a smile on my face today and happy tears in my eyes!
