3 months in and I'm down 26 lbs. haven't lost any weight in several weeks. Dr said I can't cut anymore calories I will have to start exercising to drop anymore weight. Hoping to lose another 15 lbs by Sept. that is my goal. Weight 178

Forgot to add - I have horrible acid reflux and can't sleep. The dr has changed my prescriptions multiple times now. Hope I can get some rest soon. It is effecting my quality of life with no sleep.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I go in on March 23rd and I'm super nervous but excited as well. I really appreciate being able to hear how others are faring. Your weightless so far is fantastic. I know it has been hard but congratulations.

TogaJjmom - the first few weeks are rough but after that things become much easier. 2 months and 22 lbs down. Woohoo! Had hoped it would be more but I have 4 months more to go! Need to start exercising.
