If you can't before the surgery, how would you after?
I know this is hard for men to grasp but women don't lose weight as easily. Once the weight is there it doesn't come off. If you can start over with the surgery it's more likely to keep going.
A lot of it is hormone related too. When your hormones are out of wack it can be almost impossible to lose weight. When mine were and i was trying to get back to my original weight I was eating less than 1000 calories (and all lean meats and vegetables) a day and running 2 miles and doing one hour of a work out video every single day and only losing about 1 pound every 2 weeks. It wasnt until my hormones finally balanced out that the weight came off. Losing weight isn't always as clear cut as it seems.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
