I'm just 51 days post op and feeling great. I've lost close to 55 lbs, I exercise daily and feel so much better. So far I've tolerated everything I've eaten, but haven't tried everything yet.
Really looking forward to spring.

I'm 9 weeks out and 45 pounds down! It does feel great. How are you eating? Meats can still be a problem for me.
And exercising hasn't happened for me yet. I work nights and my energy is zapped.
Any good tips?

yes Robin it's not like you have much you can do to slow the weight loss.
I'm in a little plateu right now so maybe you'll hit that soon.
Robin, not sure I'm experienced enough to be giving exercise tips but if I am it's kind of a nike thing. "Just do it" every day. No excuses. Start slow.
