How are you coping with your clothes always too big, and how many are you buying to replace what just got to big in a short time? do you buy new clothes all the time? or a few things every week? trade with others? etc????

Do you regularly see a therapist regarding your surgery and if so do you feel it's been helpful and why?

How closely do you follow the advice of your nut?

Have people perceived you as changing in other ways as your weight has changed, whether you agree with their perception or not?

Are you scared that once you lose all the weight you will regain it all again?

I had posted a video question on Youtube that didn't really generate alot of answers so I will ask it here and if you are on youtube and you would like to answer there that would be cool too. The question is: What has being heavy kept you from doing? Here's my video that I had made if you want to answer on there too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPu4NzPWUJI Kellie

I thought of another question. How often to you step on the scale? How often do you take your measurements?

1. What is the one piece of information you wish you would have known prior to surgery? 2.Has your grocery bill gone up or down since surgery? 3. What is your least favorite thing about your weight loss? 4. What do you plan to do to prevent weight gain as part of the normal aging process as our metabolism slows with age? That's all i can think of at this point. Melinda

Do you share with others that you have had WLS or do you keep it a big secret and just say that you have followed a "diet" (which we do) and if so why don't you share? When you are out and about and see someone who is extremely obese do you wish you could approach them and tell them how wonderful your choice of WLS has been? To encourage them and tell them that there is an answer to the problem of being overweight? If so, have you ever done it? Spoke to a complete stranger about surgery? Sally

Hi Lea, You probably check all the posts...but just in case...a couple of people hit reply on my post and I got their responses. RE: Daily Post--2/2/08 1.
