Lisa,

Congratulations on your success of hitting 100 lb mark, that is just terrific.  I can totally relate to what you are saying about it being so surreal.  I am now down 92.4lbs and I had my surgery on April 6.  This tool that we have been given is such a powerful tool if we choose to use it to it's full capacity.  Which I have chosen to do and I am so proud of myself for using it. 

I myself have been lucky so far that I haven't been hitting any plateua's but I also make sure that I don't go a day without some sort of exercise….I am finding that when I do miss a day I feel so guilty that I have a hard time living with the guilt…funny how this should come about when in the past I never had a problem with it.  I think the best thing for me is I love it when I can go shopping now and I don't have to go to the plus sizes (but I find that I still do) but that I can actually buy cuter clothes that are more suited for my age and taste….or yeah and sexier too…lol

I have found that I have totally changed my lifestyle in the way of eating and exercising.  I know that this surgery has done a huge amount for me in this way.  I have totally gone Gluten free, sugar free, rice and pasta free and I don't even eat potatoes so you could say I am starch free to some degree as well.  I really believe that this has help tremendously in my weight loss.  I am most certain that I won't go back to the way I was before my surgery as I have gone thru too much and I don't want to go thru it again.

I too want to publically say thank you to Dr. Malik for giving me this tool to use!!! and I say that I will use it to it's full capacity.
