Can't wait to go shopping I usually do it around Xmas time by then I'll be 3 months out yay Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Yeah by no means is this easy at all it is drastically changing your relationship with food and that I know is hard for a lot of folks most people's family's use food to celebrate like everything so it can take a toll emotionally getting the separation between food and family time. Also yeah spouses treat you different when you lose a significant amount of weight this is hard on everyone so keep strong guys people be ignorant Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app
