10.  My biggest struggle would have to be walking past a sale at Kohl's, Dillards, Penny's, etc.    Seriously, my biggest struggle when I was first post-op was finding a protein shake I liked.  Now my biggest struggle is trying to get the last 30 pounds off.  I want to do that before my 2 year mark.
