I went to see my primary care doctor for the first time since the surgery and the visit went exceptionally well - Today marks my 1 month surgiversary and i have lost a total of 30 pounds and as Dr. Davis stated for one month that is extremely well. I was a little bummed out for the past couple of days until she reminded me i could have never lost 30 pounds in one month and kept it all before so yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy me, I'm doing it and it is quite noticeable and quite refreshing, So I am going to relax and enjoy this victory today. Be blessed everyone.
I don't forget that all of you have encourage me as well and it is greatly appreciated - dancing my happy dance today

Congratulations and keep up the great work. I have suggestion for you, keep track of your weigh-ins weekly and track your monthly loss. I keep a spreadsheet with my goals and weight loss to remind myself how far I have come when I do get discouraged. Its a little Neurotic but it works for me.

Thank you all and yes its hard for me to believe it's been a month as well, time flies when your having fun and loosing weight i guess. There have been some rough days in terms of protein consumption and keeping things down but I promise you I wouldn't change one experience for the world. It teaches you patience and endurance for sure. Especially patience.
