Over 40 years ago, I was gaining weight and decided to exercise and burn it off. So I started jogging. After a few weeks, I worked myself up to 10 miles per day. Instead of losing weight, I actually started gaining weight. This was because I was replacing my fat with muscle and muscle weighs more.

im so tired of hearing fat weighs more than muscle when the reality is a pound is a pound. now a pound of fat takes up more room than a pound of muscle (150lbs of fat looks way different han 150lbs of muscle) its still the same 150lbs.

if you've been fat all your life people that KNOW you are gonna know you've had surgery- or think youre sick. and trust me when I tell you if your wife knows, her bff knows and her bff's husband knows.

this lady at my job had the bypass a year ago and thought nobody here knew. the rapid weight loss and forever present Protein Shakes gave her away, though.

the point is nobody cares! we spend our entire lives worried about what people are going to say/think when in reality people are focused on their own issues.

its a personal decision to either tell or not. my closest friends and fam know- i'll tell the rest after its done.....

may 1st. been on the liquid diet since april 17th and at this point im just ready to get it over with! the anticipation is killing me, but I am looking forward to being off work for a couple weeks- that is a plus. I live in nyc and just getting to work is work!!!!!!

may 1st. im soooooooooooooo over this liquid diet, although I have become pretty crafty at making the broths more enjoyable. herbs and spices are your friend. also I find that drinking plenty of Protein keeps the hunger and irritability at bay. peeing a lot, but my skin looks great!
