I understand now what people mean when they say this isnt the easy way out. Yes im riding the emotional roller coaster. One day your fighting not to eat the next day your wondering is my body in starvashen mode. The head hunger the eating to fast ya dont want to do that one. I knew it would be hard but for people looking into this you just dont think of how much you need to change in your habits. Im doing it and i will keep fighting on but for those who think its the easy way out its not, you cant cheat you have to try to win the fight. I tried to keep my surgery a secret because i didnt want o hear people say she took the easy way out and this weekend some one i think a long distence family member posted on face book asking about my surgery. I politly asked who the person was and told them if they wanted info private message me . Luckly i have my big sister who has allways been a pretty good weight tell me she could never do what im doing. The other thing is the scale i guess i had a false exspection i wanted it all gone by now lol i know alot to think but you just want it so bad. Im at 255 now from 297 witch i dont think is bad but my mind tell me i should be down 100 . lol i know im crazy thanks for readying loretta

You are right , this is not the easy way out. I was the opposite I had no problem letting the whole world know I had the surgery. Hard habits are hard to break. The whole process is life-changing.

Oh, DEFINITELY not the easy way out, but we are really blessed with a fantastic tool. Yeah, 100 pounds in 2 months would be totally unrealistic. I lost all my weight, 135 pounds, in the first 8 months basically. It's 5 years later, and my head is still trying to catch up!

Blessings, Jill

WLS 5/31/07. Maintaining a weight loss of 141 pounds and feeling amazing!
