I lost consistantly for the first year.
100 lbs in 6 months. then another 35 for a total of 135 in the first year.
Then 143 lbs in 16 months. Now a plateau.
My honeymoon period of 18 months is now over.
The real work begins. Excercise, 1500 calories or less each day. And proper eating. This I will adhere to for the rest of my life. This surgery was a gift, that I never want to waste.

Good Luck on your journey. Susan
