Oddly enough, it came up somehow today at an agility trial. Weird coincidence, but a lady see at agility trials, and who has the same size dog, actually has had successful gastric bypass surgery. She told me that the biggest things I needed to figure out, is
a) can I live without whatever food gives me down — can I give up eating full meals, sugar, and lots of other things
b) what size do I see myself, and can I “be” thin.
And I think the answer to those two questions right now are no.
