Sushee - I shall do. My DF wouldn't shut up when I was posting my piece in your blog and on here and I kept telling him to shut up so I can leave the message! He's slowly losing 2kgs every month, and he's not happy with it, but I'm estatic because it's something he *should* be proud of. We get out and excerise whenever we see each other (he's a school teacher and I'm a shift worker) for motivation. The doctor also did tell him that it's ok to still gain a kilo or so because it'll happen, but the overall loss he's had has been remarkable. He went from being 195kgs to 140kgs (though he doesn't think anyone can see that!)

amysarah - I know the suffering your mum went through. My DF was so so so depressed and down that he could only have the Opti-fast before the surgery and it got so bad to the point that he actually cried.. Poor thing!
