Questions and Answers

  I discovered today people treat you differently once they hear you are having WLS. People have very strong opinions on the subject. Some will say "Congratulations!" and smile and say "I know you can do this" and "thats so great, you are gonna feel so much better". Others say "oh" and "why" and "huh". Then they look at you like you have 2 heads. You can see it in their eyes they think your weak or that its somehow wrong that you would consider a surgery like this.

This is probably the hardest thing I will do in my life! I will have to relearn everything I was taught about food. I know that without the help from this surgery I will not have long term success with weight loss.

I was asked today why is it that if I can do a liquid diet for 2wks and lose this weight on my own how come I am going through with this surgery. If I have enough will power to not eat for 2wks, why couldnt I have enough will power to not eat as much. My answer...., If someone offered you a million bucks to eat only hot dogs for 2 weeks every hour on the hour, would you do it? If you knew at the end of those 2 weeks of eating hot dogs you would be a millionare you could do it. I know what my end result will be. I know why I am doing this.
