F.A.R.T.S.

I remember during my weight drop, just shaking my head, everytime I would get on the scale...using that "W" word.  After awhile my wife got really tired of it...but I didn't.  Soon (if not now), comes the mental side of WLS.  It can be harder than the physical side.  Society will treat you different (better in little ways).  It's not fair, but you'll see it soon.  Get ready and hang on for the ride.  Brian

 Yeah it's ridiculous how much more we are recognized as 'normal ppl' after losing a bunch of weight. I hate that but I love that too. I won't forget how I was treated before but I'm glad I don't have that to worry over anymore, it's quite nice for the ego.

Way to go!  I am glad you decided to share your accomplishments.  I need them and we all need them.  Our collective goals and accomplishments keep us all going on the good path!

Michael,

Way to go man!!  Keep up the good (hard) work!

Way to go,  it is so cool to be able to go in a store and buy clothes. Just the other day I too, sat in a booth at the Olive Garden. I went from a tight 48" pants to a comfortable 42" pants in just over 2 months.

Great job Michael.  Glad to see you doing so well.  Keep it up, Bro.  When are you coming to LR?  We need to have coffee or something when you do.

Awesome Michael. Way to keep up the hard work and give yours self these gifts.

It is great to share those moments. I spent a little time with a friend today that had surgery 6 months before me. We shared a lot of those moments and honestly it recharges the battery and helps to keep me going.

I didn't want to ask, but my head is starting to hurt, what does F.A.R.T.S. stand for?

Michael,
   Great job. That's awesome. I've still been struggling for the last 5 months. I have not gain a pound and still losing inches. It's great to hear stories like yours it brings back good memories. And gives me hope to keep pushing. Ken
