Jealousy is the ugly green eyed monster and it is unfortunately a natural response for your cousion. I think you may want to look deeper at what she is really trying to tell you. She is scared, scared that if you loose weight and she does not that your feeling about her or how you look at her will change. Your choice to have surgery was a personal choice and everyone has to want it for the right reasons and yours are sincere and for the right reasons. Give her time and space and hopefully she will come around and realize that fat or thin you are the same person. I the am half the person I used to be but I am the same person inside that I was 3 years ago, difference is I like me better. Remember you can not change her and how she feels but you can be in control of how you respond to her comments and reactions as you loss weight. Good luck to you and wishes for great success in your new life style choice.

You are not bad, it is only bad if it becomes a habit. I call this an opps day, we all have them at sometime in this journey the key is getting right back on track and remember this is not a DIET but a life style change and it takes a life time to keep reminding ourselves of where we were and where we never want to go back. I think you will be just fine. Keep doing what your dong and good luck to you.

This was great information! I am getting nervous but so excited on taking this journey. A friend of mine that had the VGS done a year ago has been wonderful in giving me information and advise. They suggested that if I wanted to get my supplements in liquid form to go to www.drugstore.com and to look for products under the brand of Wellesse. I did look and they have B-12, Iron, Multivitiamin, Vitamin D3 in liquid form. The costs, are rather low as well. Once the supplies I have purchased run low I consider ordering from them what I need. But knowing myself I will shop around for the best product and bargin. Lol.

I've been reading about mental hunger for a few days now. xchubba you made a great point about television. I may have to stock up on books and limit TV to just the weather. Continued success everyone on their journey.
