Wow! Just the pep talk I needed to hear this Friday morning, thank you. I had my surgery done March 5, 2009, have lost 36-40 lbs. depends on day. I am starting to cheat??? eat "easy" foods; cereal, icecream.....and I could see the scale fluctuating. Ok, I'm done buying icream and eating easy foods. A taste once in awhile is fine. But your right, we didn't go through this surgery to fail. Thanks Again--I feel better and ready to stay on my path that I started to good health and most importantly, feeling good overall!!
