Pinterest has helped me alot!!

This is what I am afraid of when I return to work next month! I'm currently in therapy and she asked me what was my fear and I told her right now, having to return to work! She recommended while I'm off read Beck Diet Solution.... She also recommended me to list things I can do to reduce my stress without food...so you could try to do that and do those things...

Thanks, I'm 6 day post op and I woke up this morning extremely weak, and I think its because I haven't ate anything really all week....I really wish I could read regular food now, but I'm on full liquids until the 27th....

not everyone does a pre-op...it depends on your starting weight...

I say do what you like, its the only way you will be able to stick with it....you can get great exercise dancing, swimming, or playing sports, you probably worked more muscles than if you walked a treadmill.....

well said! People have asked me over and over again if I am scared about having this surgery, my response is "no, what I am scared of is developing high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiomyopathy and dying at 55, like my mother, now that scares me" You did an awesome job expressing how most of us feel... Thank you
