    WAY TO GO !

    The biggest thing is patience and perserverance , keep counting calories and making goals while just taking it one day at a time. We can do this, we all can!

    I found that MFP is a life saver. I have tried several diets from Weight watchers to what ever the diet of the day is. This program is the only one that I find I can do and not feel like I'm on a diet. I had100 to loose , 11 down and counting. Never feel bad about how you got here. The fact that you did and it is working for you is key. Keep going and enjoy your special trip. I'm proud of you and your progress.

    You're not the enemy just because you had surgery; you still have to do the work. Gastric surgery is just a tool. You're doing great, just remember it's YOU doing it.

Doesn't matter if you had the surgery or not, doesn't mean that it happened all by itself, it's your hard work behind that wonderful result - really impressive!!! Keep it going and one day it's going to be a skinny *kitten* you're putting on that airplane chair!!! Whooohooo!!

    Congratulations on your success. The only thing is you're a little too modest and self-deprecating. What you've done is amazing and you should take a bow, seriously!

    Surgery is not the easy way out and you are not the enemy, lol! Having surgery is only half the battle. You have to work HARD to do the rest. You said yourself, you just wanted it done so you could do one thing you wanted to do. And that gave you the confidence to keep losing the rest on your own and the motivation to do more. You probably wouldn't be doing that if you hadn't had the surgery. Kudos to you for being brave and doing what you needed to do to get where you want to go. Congrats on your success and best of luck on the rest of your journey.

    BTW, I think your sense of humor is awesome!!
