i know you didnt ask me, but i do not overeat (either) i overate in my past to make me need wls...why do that now? i take 100% responsibility for what or what not goes into my mouth. no excuse. it doesnt make me better..just means i want this.

Q: Does muscle really weigh more than fat? Muscle does not weigh more than fat, any more than lead weighs more than feathers. A pound is a pound is a pound. Where the misunderstanding often comes in is that muscle is much more dense than fat, so that, by volume, it seems to weigh more. That is, a pound of muscle occupies less space than a pound of fat. In addition, because a pound of muscle burns more fat than a pound of fat, even at rest, by increasing your lean muscle tissue mass, you're helping your body burn more calories. i got this from this link: http://www.weightwat..._id=8311&sc=128

how much one loses is based on how well the person does following the eating and exercising suggestions if you are a larger person, you can lose more..but the band and implication will only help you if you help it. some people go into this thinking if they have this or any wls, it will help them lose weight overnight,, yes, you can lose but imagine how much more you can lose if one really follows the instructions they are given. i feel one must change one's thinking in order to be successful. as well as changing ones eating habits.. all the best

There were some things that I did have to give up in order to lose my first 70 or so pounds.. ♦ I gave up dieting forever ♦ I gave up lugging around an extra person on my 5’2″ frame. ♦ I gave up being afraid I would break a chair when I sat in it ♦ I gave up needing seat belt extenders ♦ I said goodbye to 3x size clothes (and nearly 2x) ♦ I gave up feeling winded after walking 5 feet ♦ I gave up cold pizza or a cold McDonalds cheeseburger for Breakfast ♦ I gave up blaming everyone but me for being over 300 pounds ♦ I gave up knee pain and leg pain (getting better every day) My list could go on and on but I have not give up anything I wish I had back. The things I have gained are far more important than the things I lost. (mobility, belief in myself, desire, motivation...) What are you happy to give up?

forgive me but i am going to be tough.. you didnt slip up you chose to eat that pizza and if you eat the left overs, you are choosing to eat it. you are only hurting yourself cheating. you know it was wrong but you did it anyhow..if you eat like that after surgery, you could hurt yourself seriously as this is major surgery. if you really want this surgery, then follow your doctors orders and do what you have to do.
