You have goals, and I think that's really an important thing, knowing what you are working towards! I have two sons, 9 & 11, and it sucks that I cant run with them because all the weight in my stomach bears down so heavily on my knees. I cant really ride a bike comfortably either, and i desperately want to start biking, as well as kayaking (much moreso than I want to run). I'll tell you what,trying to put an end to habit/comfort eating is just as hard as quitting smoking!

Castiel, Angel (Hey, two Angels!), with all of the people I know who've had the surgery, it seems like it just takes time to get to that goal. I think you have to be patient, and talk to your doctor about your concerns. Do y'all have a support group you could go to? maybe others in your area are having the same difficulties. I wish I had some other advice that wasn't weak, but Im still pre-op, waiting for an insurance appeal.
