Thank you all. The support here is amazing. I know that I will need to work on the food attachments that I have. I didn't gain weight having a healthy relationship with food and know that I have to learn to not find comfort in food. I know I can do this and will be so grateful in the end. Being able to enjoy life and not avoid things because of my weight will be the biggest blessing ever. I only wish I'd been able to do this sooner but then again I don't know that I was mentally ready. Again, thank you all.

Thank you both. I will keep reminding myself of why this is better than food and read successful stories when I start to freak. ????

I hesitate to even write this but instead of letting fear and anxiety take hold I thought I'd put it out there. I cannot be the only one who ever felt this way. I am starting the process of WLS and have my first appt with my WL Clinic/Surgeon on 4/27/15. I want this surgery badly and will have it, however, I'm starting to freak out a little. Fears of the unknown and thoughts like "how will you handle not being able to eat?" Being healthy and enjoying my life will be far greater than any food but even knowing this doesn't seem to calm that itch of anxiety that is creeping in. Suggestions? How did you calm these thoughts? thanks in advance, Becca
