I got on the scale yesterday morning and it said I'd lost 50 pounds since I started this journey! I am amazed! Just amazed. I have 55 pounds to my initial goal of 165. If I hit that goal, we'll see if I go lower.

I'm one of the lucky ones. This has not been the most difficult journey for me. Surgery went very well and my recovery was even better. I've had a few episodes of vomiting from dense proteins, but my pouch usually handles most things I eat.

I haven't had any problems getting my protein or vitamins in. My first labs came out pretty good. I made a few tweaks to my vitamins, but overall, no issues.

I'm exercising 3-4 days a week.

I didn't have any problem getting my water in for the first month. I've been struggling lately with my water. I get so busy during the day that I forget to drink. I'm making an effort to re-focus and get those fluids. They are so very important.

I'm on the LW board every day. I don't respond to all the posts I'd like, but I'm so appreciative of this forum and try to chime in when I can. I'm usually sneaking peaks while I'm at work. Shhh! Don't tell my boss. You guys are great! THANK YOU for all the great support!

You go girl! Sounds like you're doing just great.

Keep it up.
