Well surgery went well. Spend a night in the hospital and an afternoon... Everything is great, pain is subsiding back to walking a mile or so... Much slower walk as I heal.... but am enjoying getting out there.... weight has been stealy coming down since the diets before, tryed sticking to the low carb till it was time to go clear liquids... I am down 37 pounds when I was weighed as I was leaving the hospital... Can't wait to see from here, haven't stepped on a scale yet.. Holding off.... Hope everyone is doing well
 
glad surgery went well. I have lost 37 lbs. since Jan. 2nd. I guess that's not bad. I need to start exercising more, tho. That would help.

37 lbs I would say thats not bad... that is great work, keep up the momentum, you got this....
 
Weighed myself this morning. 41 lbs down. Hooray. I have to wear a belt to keep my pants up. It has been years since I have worn a belt
 
Quentin that is very encouraging. Thank you for sharing. Awesome job. I know I am a bit nervous because it's a life changing decision, but I look forward to the rewards. Thanks again.

how are you doing now? Any pain?
Not doing bad... I little pain still but only when I sit to long bent over or try and sit straight up from laying down... I also have a 3mth old pup that doesnt realize her big paws don't feel good on the belly... But am doing much better... Walking a 2-3 miles yesterday felt great... Things getting back to normal... Thanks for asking....
