Here is my list of cons:

1. I can't "down" my Water like I used to.
2. I am ready to leave a restaurant long before everyone else at the table is finished.
3. I sometimes get heartburn.
4. In the beginning, I really had to figure out how to eat. I have learned that I can still take regular sized bites but i have to swallow it in sections. Before figuring that out, I used to feel pretty icky after eating.
5. I hate it when I come across people i haven't seen in awhile and they blurt out "wow, you have lost so much weight!"
6. I am at the point now where I have to be sure to get enough calories. No big deal, I just have to be sure to eat all the time.
7. When I go out to eat with people, I have to fake that I am chewing and still eating when I am so ready to just leave. I move the food around and hide it so people won't question my portion size. I even hide food in my napkin sometimes because I don't want the waiter to ask me if I am unhappy with my dish.
8. I miss beer!

I really can't think of anything else. It has been nine months and I have not regretted it for a moment. I feel so free. Don't even get me going on the list of pros! We will be here all night!.
