mom2han got a reaction from mylifeinpink in Why Gain It Back?I just had my first visit with my surgeon and this is what he has to say. If you want to lose weight and keep it off forever you must give up soda, dessert, chips, crackers, and popcorn for the rest of your life. These foods are genetically altered by the manufactures to make you hungry and make you eat more. He goes on to say In the beginning you may eat just one but you have my guarantee that will not last and you will gain the weight back.
I believe this 100%. I have every intention of following his rules because I want to stop the insanity once and for all.
Good luck to everyone taking this journey.

mom2han got a reaction from aznurse4u in To Tell Or Not To Tell....I think I have told just about everyone I know. I have gotten positive and negative responses. I have alot of overweight friends that have not been supportive and they say I'm taking the easy way out and i should do it with diet and exercise. Everyone in my office has constantly counting calories and points for years, they should all be rail thin and they are all still overweight. I guarantee when they see my success they will be climbing onboard.
I want to be able to share my experience and knowledge with others and offer them hope. I can't do that if I keep my surgery a secret.
