When Do You Eat Your Largest Meal
It depends on what day it easy.During the week i would have to say Lunch is my biggest meal. On the weekends, Probably Breakfast, or dinner..I usually don't eat much during the day..

How many are Happy and Sucessful ?
I wish i had surgery YEARS ago..This is by far the best thing i have ever done for myself but you have to be determined..This is ONLY a tool..You can Gain weight back and you can mess up from time to time..Its only natural. I NEVER thought i would be able to say that ive lost over 100lbs but i am down 113 lbs so far and only have 40 to go (til doctors goal)..I LOVE to exercise now and i have never been able to say that before..Its well worth it but you need to but your time and effort into it..

Fmla
I had to disclose what type of surgery i had with my job..It wasn't a big deal for me because there was another 4 people who were having the same surgery..And 1 person who had GB so my job was already aware of the situation.

Thanks denise I would try to ignore him but we are going to the class in the same vehicle (joy). I think i will be able to make it. I think i can handle small talk (like hi how are you, how is the family) but if he starts to talk about anything else im going to tell him to shut up ..I plan on going to the gym right after this class and hopefully that will help me realive some stress and anger...I will let u know
