    Yea... Today my fiancé told me that he can see the changes In me..... Unfortunately I have been abused verbally all my life about my weight... So I won't see results the way others see them... Thank you so much for the advice. Hug

    I didn't realize how fat I was. 4 more months then I hope for a new attitude and body.

    Just hang in there after the surgery you will be surprised how you see yourself.
