May 19th. I'm 3 days into pre op diet. I have to say my emotions change daily! One day excited, the next I'm second guessing the whole thing. But what I do know is that I can't keep living life carrying around an extra 150 pounds! Is trepedatious a word? I think that's how I feel. I'm gonna go look that up now.

Thank you for your encouraging response. I could seriously burst into tears reading it. We'll call them tears of hope.

Good topic. For me, the fear is still there. And honestly, I kind of hope it doesn't go away, because if I get complacent I will fail. Taking the sleeve for granted, forgetting the basic sleeve rules of eating, chowing down on sliders - these are the things that will let you fail.
Why will you succeed? Because you have never had a tool as powerful as the sleeve. Because you will come here for support and a thousand friends will cheer you on and cheer you up. Because you are not going to sabotage yourself, and you are going to learn to love yourself and your body and do good things for it, because you dserve it.
