I had my surgery on the 10th of August in Toronto. What about you?

Why is it because your afraid of the surgery or the change it will make in your life?

Hi Beau

Yes all is going really well and so far I've lost 23 pounds. I'm really exited about the future.

Good for you, congrats on you're success. I am a bit nervous about how my life will change, not about the weight loss issues, I've lost over 50 pounds three times in my life, the typical yo-yo syndrome. Mostly concerned about learning to chew my food properly, not gulp, restrain on the social drinking. My family seems to have a "love" with food, as I'm sure most here do. I have a sister in law that's one of my best friends, she eats like a champion, but metabolizes well. Who knows, maybe my new habits will rub off on her........lol......doubt it! My nerves were a bit shot this summer and took up smoking, really dumb, so today is my quit day, have a patch on my bat wing that's itchy, chewed one of those gross gum this morning, and feel like I have a horn growing out of my forehead............ahhhh withdrawals. At least I have a couple weeks to have this under control before the glorious Optifast stint. Blood work tomorrow morning, then withdraw $16,000. from my bank account for the surgery......boy I'm thinking.......what the hell am I doing? Just hope its all worth it and look back at this whole experience as the best decision I ever made.
