9 days pre-op!

I'm a 34 year old married woman living in Boston. I've been overweight most of my life but only since being married have I become "morbidly obese"...sounds so scary and clinical and NOT how I think I should feel. I'm 9 days pre-op and 4 days in on my pre-op liquid diet (which allows me one low carb meal/ day) Not feeling bad, feeling really good actually. I ALREADY feel better. A little less tired, a little more able to easily tie my shoes, a little less focused on food. I'm starting think that this is really going to be a great new lifestyle change. I just watched the documentary "Sicko" by Michael Moore and it hits home about how important it is to do your best to stay healthy...you may be unable to avoind certain ailments, but obesity-related can move off the chart for me I hope.
