    I would talk to my doctor before starting any weight loss. That is some major surgery right there.

    Hey you!! the best piece of advice that I got was that it took awhile to get on there so it is going to take even longer to take it off. Sometimes I get super impatient with the whole process and like you, get seriously tired of eating the SAME DAMN SALAD MEAL for lunch almost every day, but then I sit back and remember that no matter how badly I want to quit, there is nobetter feeling than knowing that when I go to bed, that I did the best I possibly could for that day.
    Sounds kind of lame when I reread it, but eh.. it works!

    I wish you the best of luck with your future transplant. I hope it happens for you soon. I understand the difficulties of weightloss with medical conditions. I wad born with a heart problem that required surgery as a child and will require it again when I am older. I am trying to do everything I can to get in the best possible shape to prolong the need for that surgery. Its hard tho when you are told all the things you can't do, but never the things you can do. I truly wish you the best!
