LaLaDee...great, practical suggestions. I saw a surgeon yesterday and was pleased with the meeting, but I'm still not on board 100%. I'm living "as if" I'll be having the surgery (it would be the sleeve, prob in June) and will see. Currently in month 3 of my required 6 months of physician-supervised attempt at weight loss for insurance purposes. Lost 8 lbs this past month, doc asked that I lose 10 more.
Anyway, just wanted to commend you on your list of suggestions.
