With the first 50lbs it flew off the first month... this month was a little harder but I managed to lose another 10 pound three days shy of two months. I know my Dr. said that everybody is different and loses different so I just wanna see your personal experiences in celebration of my own little mile stone. If you don't mind sharing:

WHAT A NEAT IDEA PUGMAMA,
I like the way you are doing it to get to know some of the people on the site. GOOD THINKIN! I WILL GLADLY ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS.
1. ANNIVERSARY DATE OF SURGERY- AUGUST 1ST

2. POUNDS LOST- 65 AS OF TODAY

3. FAVORITE EXERCISE- WALKING, WOULD PREFER SWIMMING, BUT I LIVE IN THE STICKS NOT CLOSE TO A POOL LOL

4. FAV. MEAL BEFORE SURGERY- ANYTHING LOL MOST BARBEQUED STUFF ON THE GRILL WITH THE FIXENS- POTATOE SALAD U KNOW, ALL THE GOOD STUFF.

5. FAV. MEAL AFTER SURGERY- WELL, I JUST WENT TO KFC FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE AND IT WAS AWESOME. I AM STARTING TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN. LOL

6. WEIGHT CHECKS PER WEEK- 3 TIMES- I THINK A LITTLE OVERBOARD, BUT I FEEL IF I KEEP IT AT THAT IT WILL BE FINE.

7. BODY PART MOST NOTICEABLE WITH WEIGHT LOSS- I THINK MY FACE BUT NOTICE NOW MOSTLY EVERYWHERE

8. MOST SUPPORTIVE PERSON- MY WIFE, JESS. SHE IS AWESOME WITH THIS, BUT ALSO THIS SITE. THE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING.

9. HARDEST PART OF SURGERY- IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ACTUAL SURGERY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TWO DAYS. UGH!!!!!!! IF YOU MEAN AFTER THE SURGERY, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE FOR ME ANYWAYS, STAYING AWAY FROM THE SWEETS. I HAVEN'T BROKE DOWN ONCE SINCE SURGERY, FOR THE RECORD, BUT I DO HAVE MY MOMENTS WHERE I HAVE TO RESIST. I AM DOING WONDERFUL WITH IT THOUGH. I hope this has got you to know me at least a little better. LOL
WELCOME PUGMAMA!!!!!!!!!
