I think that you are doing great! 34 pounds?!!! Just focus on all the times you tried to lose before...how long would it have taken you to get to 34 pounds before the surgery? I know that it would take me so long to get that far. You have increased your physical activity 50 times! How many people can say that? Every time your hubby brings crap food in the house, empty it into the trash. He will get tired of wasting money soon enough!
