  13. Good luck with yours. I travel to Sydney tomorrow for my surgery as I live 3.5 hours away from the hospital and I need to be there early the next morning. All the normal feelings both worried and happy. I hope I have the commitment to follow though with this lifestyle change the fear of failing is quite strong at the moment. Again I am sure these are just normal feeling. I love how supported everyone has been and thank you all for sharing your journeys.

  15. I hope you are feeling a little better after reading the above posts, they all come from heart and wisdom and I am also making mental notes to myself. Take care and keep reaching out.
  16. Hi I joined this community a few weeks ago and have found this site full of wonderful and insightful weight lost journeys. My sleeve is scheduled for the 3/27/2018 and I have started my 2 week liquid diet. I am from a very small country town in New South Wales Australia and I find it interesting reading your journeys of how many steps and processes you have to go though before you are eligible for WLS. I like the education you seem to receive along the way and how open people are to share their journey and experience, Thank you in advance

  19. I have no answer. However this is one of my major concerns after surgery 3/27. Part of my problem with food is my fear of lack of energy (I have very physical demanding job) so I tend to over eat thinking I am compensating and filling my energy banks. If you are feeling a lack of energy after the surgery ...which can be expected as you recover, but what about long term? I look forward also to any answers.
