I'm so sick of hearing "just cut down" or "all you have to do is run more"...  hmf, me run ? good lord, I don't want the provincial rictor scales to go off. Everytime I go to the beach, little kids try to push me back in the water. Guess thats how I deal with it, humor. Hope to hear from some of you. I'll be reading about how some of you went through the surgery to kind of get a feel for what to expect.
Anyways, i'm not fat...i'm fluffy. 
Everybody take care.  |
welcome! you came to a great place!
running maybe not but i am sure walking is a doable feat, no? in the mean time you could consider trying to lose weight through better eating and ,light exercise like walking before the surgery because the less you weigh the less risk you have for complications. not to mention the closer you will be towards your end goal! i considered obesity surgery myself but after reading information on this site and talking to some of the people i decided to really commit mentally and physically to a lifestyle change one last time and these guys really helped me out! i've started to lose the weight naturally and will continue to do so
