THERE ARE DAYS I REGRET IT!!!!!Just to let you know it is not a quick fix it is a slow weight loss and sometimes very frusterating is is worth it ? I THINK FOR the most part it is but i get discouraged easy about it i get discouraged that i still can make poor food choices that still enable me from losing weight just like before surgerY i dont know what i expected but it is different you will lose but slowly there is no average i think its just what normal for you so dont go in with any expectations other than living healthy eating healty forever and you will do fine good luck!
