I am happy to say that as of surgery day oct 24 I weighed 251 ( oct 14 I weighed 261) and today I weighed in at 238, it’s only Nov 9th!!! I tell you what I am already feeling the inches come off, even when the scale don’t move It’s been a very easy healing process even though I jumped the gun and started soft foods right out the gate, a few bites well chewed do not bother me. I like all the same food types still, Mexican especially and even spices don’t bother me, so I have to say I’m very satisfied. My face has slimmed down already and clothes are loose all over. I am thinking this was one of the best choices I have ever made! Now instead of living to eat I literally am letting my new stomach teach me how to eat to live! Very grateful and I recommend the choice I have made 100%!
