Its 2 days past my 8 month anniversary and I now weigh 190lbs and I wear a size 16 gloria vanderbuilt jeans. I am in awe of this surgery and all it has done for me. I am able to eat more now so I have to be careful. Theres now way I can eat the ammount I used to but if I am careless and eat too much carbs and not enough protein I will stop losing weight. I power walk about 40 to 50 minutes every morning and I feel great, like I have my life back and I am SSSOOOOOOOOO happy I did this. I send my best wishes to all who are on this journey.
