I have been at the same weight for the past 2 weeks. It seems like my body has stopped losing weight. I am about 3 mths out and I have lost 41 lbs.

Well... I am on the other side now. Starting week 2 and things are going well. I go to the DR on Friday. What was the hardest thing for you at first (or maybe still is)?

Sent out a message on FB about my surgery date to 3 friends I thought I was close with. We don't live close anymore, but in my heart they are still very important to me. I told them about my surgery date on Wed. they didn't even reply. When I saw they read it and didn't reply it was a shot in my heart. You all know how long of a process this is. I didn't tell them til now, b/c well there is nothing to tell. So much for their support!
