I am going to give you what I believe to be very good advice.
Lose as much as you can while the going is easy. I cannot stress this enough
You will very likely have bounce back weight of 10 - 30 pounds within 3 - 4 years post surgery depending on how restricted you keep your diet
It will NEVER be this easy to lose
Your family is not used to seeing you this thin - plus we tend to look gaunt and sickly the first year with rapid weight loss. Your family and friends see this and worry. You will look normal by year 2 - face will fill out and colour and hair return to normal or close to it
Lose more then you want now. You will thank me in about 3 or 4 years from now
I appreciate you have indicated you want to lose a bit more. Lose it all. Please
Thank you for your advice. I'm not ready to stop losing yet. I am starting to look gaunt, with dark circles under my eyes; glad to hear it will get better.
