I'm sorry your wls was postponed, but it seems like you will learn what you need to in order to be successful. It's good your doctor is cautious and takes the whole thing seriously. I don' think all docs are alike and some treat wls as simply a paycheck fro the,, it seems.
I was on phentermine twice and lsot 15-20 pounds each time. A high protein diet like the SBD is great, too. I need to get out the book and cookbook and start using the recipes again.
And keep up the exercise. It will help your heart and lungs be stronger and will make your body stronger. I know what you mean about it. I hate the thought of going but I feel good once I get done. Speaking of which, it's been a week since I've been to the gym
I believe there are reasons for delays and other things that don't go the way we want. We might ever know that reason, but things usually have a way of working out.
Keep your chin up and your attitude positive and do what you know is best for you. And I will take my own advice!
