For Amirr84 :
First of all, excuse my english (i'm French).
Obesity may be a pathology for some people who can not be cured with a simple diet.

If you think people have weak wills to have such an operation, suffer, and eat only minimal quantities of food to life: sorry but you are an asshole.

This surgery is a miracle and prolong many lives, both for people who have physical or mental pathologies towards food.

I know where u're coming from Kribaby76, as I too have a similar amount to lose but I have to agree with Diablos. It's very important to STOP eating salty foods. U DON'T have to eat Less to lose weight. Less calories doesn't equal less food. Eating more WHOLE FOODS&less process foods means U can eat like 10 plums for 1 chocolate bar. U can eat MORE when u cut out the processed foods. I know it's really hard giving up the foods that u love but it does works, I've already lost 50 lbs doing this.
