I have drastically slowed down, but not stalling in my weightloss, and I guess since I am well over halfway there.. a lot of friends & family have been asking me lately "So when you get to goal, then what? Take it out?/Unfill it? Will you keep losing?" etc.

I'm extremely open about the surgery and don't mind answering questions, but this has been the hardest one to answer. Ok, most of us realize the calorie in vs. calorie ratio out.. how as you get closer to goal, it's harder to lose due to the calorie out going way down and blah blah. Yeah, this is what I try to explain to them.. and I get the glazed over look. Then a week later they ask me the top questions.. hoping maybe this time I'll give an answer in English. Since no one cares (stupid skinny people!) how calorie in vs. calorie out work, they don't get why the band is not going to be taken out or unfilled. Is there an easy answer? If I just say "no, they leave it", they get worried and say "Won't you keep losing?" and saying "no" isn't good enough, but the actual reason is beyond them. Help!

What's a good easy explination? :tongue:

This may sound silly, but I was also wondering what happens when we reach goal too! I haven't really given it that much thought, because I'm just starting the WLS process.

I was picturing myself getting thinner and thinner and really enjoying the image! Now that I have a picture in my brain of a Mack truck and a golf cart parked side-by-side, my fun is spoiled! :smile2:

Dang-it!

Awww sorry ! I hope that wasn't offensive to anyone.
