JosJourney got a reaction from OutdoorsGirl in November Surgery Buddies!!!
Hi -
I'm scheduled for November 1st. I'm excited and very nervous at the same time. I started my 2 week liquid diet on the 18th and I'm sticking to it without too much struggle - so far. This is my first time on the forum and it's been really encouraging. Thanks

My advice is to think about how you want your life to be and what’s most important to you. I mean ideally I wanted to be thin but also to be able to eat candy and Snacks and huge portions nonstop, but that’s not reality. If given the option I wanted to be normal weight more than I wanted to gorge on food. I felt ashamed by how fixated I was on food, and how much garbage I ate. I felt almost compelled to eat, but I wasn’t happy with how I felt, and at the end of the day I didn’t want to be that way.
Life is about compromise. WLS means giving up one thing to get another, and if food is something that is your top priority and you really don’t want to change that long term, it might not be a good choice.
I still in some senses wish I could eat the way I used to over a year ago. But I know someone who is a former drug addict who feels the same. They still want the drug and probably always will, but they recognize their life is better without it. My life is better without my old eating habits.
