  • I still see myself as 250 pounds even though its been over 5 years since I was that big. In the mirror I see every bulge and fat roll and I'm afraid it will always be that way for me.

  • I can honestly say I didn't really follow the pre-op diet that well. I am a vegetarian and all that protein just wasn't up my alley.
