Congratulations on the weight loss and on the decision to take control of your health! You already know the beginning (after surgery) wasn't easy but it's gotten easier. I just hit my 1-year...

It is hard but will be worth it in the end. Get and keep your motivation for the surgery in mind at all times, that'll help. My surgery date got pushed back a few days so I was actually on the...
