I studied the various processes for several years. Read all the statistics. I talked to friends and family that had gone through different types of weight loss surgery.
I knew there would be challenges. Ups and downs of varying degrees. I knew there would be times when I would be discouraged.
I went into the surgery knowing all this, and planning for it in the future. I was determined to maintain a positive outlook. And I did so.
I've had great success. The surgery certainly did it's part, but I've also worked my tail off to both expedite the process and set a good routine to live by the rest of my life. My attitude has remained positive, even during those weeks where the scale doesn't seem to budge. I've continued to work hard, trying to focus on doing it right instead of the results.
What I didn't plan for was the battle of complacency.
