This thread saved me! Thanks so much everyone!

I am now three years out... I was surprised at how little I ate right after surgery and still function!! And it saded me, because it made me realize just how much I had over eaten for YEARS!! Oh how I greaved for the amount of food I was able to eat before... At times I still miss that, however, I so would not go back to the weight I was just to eat that amount again!! Thankfully it is a marathon, and not a race, because I have had some regain and need to refocus myself.

Exciting!! sleep well!
And Best Wishes!

I haven't had my surgery yet..Aug 15th.
But I walk all the time. I have found that I can download books from the library website for free. I download them on my Ipod (but you can download them to your phone as well) and then I listen to them as I walk. It is a great companion when no one else is around to walk with you. Sometimes, I don't want to stop walking because I have a good book to listen to!

My surgery is Aug 15th too. I will tell you as a nurse, I have seen LOTS of naked bodies, and you really don't remember them afterwards... unless they are VERY unique... tatoos, piercings, unusual scars, so, I wouldn't worry about it.... :wub:
THAT SAID, I do have to say that I feel that my beautiful body is VERY UNIQUE to ME!! :ph34r:
And I have a georgous Doctor as well and I really don't want to see how Unique I am!! I keep having to remind myself that I am beautiful on the inside and it really only matters to my beautiful husband!!
Best of LUCK!!! Lets keep in touch!!
