Good Luck. You have a great attitude.

Congrats! I too notice the negative point of view toward WLS, and I will admit to thinking like that at one time, until I started doing my own research, and I learned that the pov that wls was the "easy way" out was is a HUGE misconception!

I also had my surgery on March 16th in Miami, by Dr. Jacobs, another incredible surgeon. Have lost 4 lbs already but having major constipation (guess because we are not really eating much). I am super excited to be on this journey and family and friends who were a bit skepticle, are starting to understand that this is only "a tool" and that it will take focus and dedication to loose this weight. We got this!!

I'm having that same issue but I'm only "eating" lowfat yogurt so that's expected. My problem is dealing with contractions that feel like hunger pangs but i know that im not hungry

Good luck on your journey. I was having what I thought was hunger pangs once I returned to work they went away, to busy to think about them.

Good for you. People dont understand. I hate when my little friends say all you have to do is stop eating. Wow never thought about that. I guess the hardest thing is saying I am not perfect, It isn't easy. Believe me alot of us are with you. This world is hard on large people, because they see us as imperfect. I am more perfect them, but not perfect. Good luck

I hear ya there... I had 3 shrimp and 3 dime size pieces of chicken when we went out to eat the other night and my husband says "you really made a pig outta yourself tonight" How thoughtful....I really wish he would do some research on his own! Hello people who do not have weight issues do not have a clue...He always tells my 12 yr old that he is growing his (my son's) belly.... I hate that...Who wants to have a big belly....grrrr
