Amazing! That is what it talking about -- Great commitment, dedication and progress.Your results are great at 136lbs. - Are there any foods you cannot tolerate (for me it is french fries & I miss them)? - What is you daily routine for eating, exercise and motivation? - How are you scars healing ( I lost weight so fast keeping to a strict eating regime I have small hypertrophic scars) - Your doctor cannot be view on the RS website can you elaborate on your experience? Keep RS posted on your journey.

I can’t eat eggs, tomatoes, pork, ground beef, all drinks must be really hot or really cold and milk. It’s a bit of a pain sometimes but it is absolutely worth it.

I keep my meals simple, I always have grab and go snacks ready and I don’t beat myself up for eating something wrong. If there’s a craving I try to make it as healthy as possible and eat a small bit rather than let my cravings consume me. I also take walks through the park with a friend. That’s how we catch up now and it tired the kids out so it’s a double bonus.
My motivation from the beginning was my daughter and seeing how much more I can do with her now is a constant reminder of why I did this and why it was the best decision I made. It helps keep me motivated and accountable. Now most of my routine is habit and I don’t think too much about what I’m going to eat. I’m not hungry often either which is a blessing.

I have a few scars that are more noticeable to me but to others they would really have to look closely. I do have a lot of extra skin, some of which is awkward and painful at times but i still like the way I look.

My doctor was changed to Dr. Gmora in Hamilton Ontario. He was amazing. He was great. I was very nervous but my surgery went well. He and his team were great.

Apologies, I'm getting a Mani/Pedi.

Many folks have an adverse reaction to eggs after surgery. Glad to hear your are eating simply and have more energy and time to spend with your daughter.

Such a great success story you have. Again thanks for sharing!

Four months out

I am four months out now and I currently weigh 224lbs. I've lost 69 lbs and 40". I still struggle to get in all my protein and water. I don't feel hungry but I crave water, ice cold water all the time. It's a welcome change from craving bad food.

Congratulations hon! And I wouldn't worry about those little scars...in a couple of years, they will be just memories.
