Happy Birthday Ashley!   There is your cake! Congrats on your weight loss. I hope I can lose that much in 2 months. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago today. I have not lost any weight for the past 7 days. So that is a bummer! Do you exercise daily. I need to pointers to shed the weight!

Hey there...just wanted to let you know...don't get discouraged yet. I was the same way. I lost 17 pounds the week before surgery on my liquid pre-op diet. I came home and weighed one pound less then my highest at 281. My weight didn't seem to budge much for a few weeks and then boom it took off on me. I'm 2 months out and I've lost 43 pounds and almost 40 inches all over. Take measurments too...it really is a great help. I work out 2 times a week with a trainer doing weight training and i do cardio 3 to 5 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes on the elliptical or the treadmill. It will start to come off I promise!  :) Hugs Kerri
