i had trouble with steak but i found the better cuts are much easier porterhouse t bone ect. more expensive but i'm able to really enjoy a nice steak dinner

i wonder also if we eat enough so many drs. say you need to eat to lose weight. i track everthing i eat it doesn't add up to much especially when your throwing half of up but i'm also menopausal and i'm told that makes losing harder i don't know what to think going through surgery and still struggling to lose

you are smart to think about what you are about to do. it isn't easy everyone thinks it's going to be so easy even though we tell our drs. & everone else that we don't think it's a miracle surgery deep down thats what we are really hoping for.this surgery is not the solution it really is just another weight lose tool.if you can HONESTLY know that this is the truth then i say go for it but to think that it's going to be easy---well it's not.
