Like they say....they operate on our stomachs not our minds. It'll take a while for our minds to catch up. I'm dealing with that too. I still reach for my big clothes (though I've given most away in clothing exchanges) and my mind also still thinks I need large food portions and super size combo meals. It's a battle. I'm thinking I may to go a professional counselor or psychologist or something to get this worked out. I don't know how to fix this on my end. So you are not alone!! We hear ya!! Congrats on 120 lbs gone!! Hugs, Trisha -92 lbs so far!

Wow. That's amazing. How much have you lost since surgery? Did you lose 65 lbs of that before surgery? I always admire people who can get weight off before surgery. I gained 10 lbs before surgery. Ran the risk of the surgeon not operating on me. You must feel like a whole new man! Heidi

I have now reached three of my goals. First, I got to onederland! Second, I now weigh less than my husband! And third, today, I joined the Century Club! I've gone from 280 to 180! I began in a 28 and am now wearing 16's. I have lots of energy and am glad I did this! Laurie

I just love this surgery I new when I got it I would take off the weight but I never dreamed it would be like this and how it's making me feel.I feel like I'm on top of the world.
