ok so i haven't had it done yet but i wanted to share with you how i look at weight loss.... i have never cared about if i lost a pound or two it was all failure unless it was 10+ lbs.. but then one day i bout 5 lbs of ground beef and cut it open and laid it on the counter...i was disgusted and amazed at how BIG 5lbs are. 5 POUNDS! I'm well over 100 pounds over weight and that was a huge pile of beef! now go to store and pick up the largest amount of meat they have and i bet it will be heavy and still be less than 45 pounds! don't loose sight of the fact that you are loosing it. it is leaving your body and does not exist any more. you are 180 quarter pound hamburgers lighter! thats allot of burgers! sorry about all of the beef analogies it just helped me when i had a physical substance to compare my weight loss to...and if your a vegetarian then you will be super happy about there being less beef...lol congrats to you and i hope when i have my surgery it will be as successful as yours has been.
