Welcome Florida Sleevers!!!

I am Jenn, wife and mother of two. Currently I am doing all my pre-op testing and have 8 more pounds to lose to meet my pre-op goal. I live in Lake City Florida...about 1/2 hr. from Gainesville and an hour from Jacksonville. I will be seeing Dr. Ben-David at Shands in Gainesville. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and who knows, maybe have a meet & greet sometime!

Hi everyone! I'm in Ocala. About 1hr north of Orlando. I'm a week post op and really feeling this emotionally. I miss my food friends. I didn't realize how much I depended on food!

Hi! I live in Starke but my favorite restaurant is in Ocala and my husband and I always stop to eat there on the way to Orlando.

I don't think we truly understand how much control food had over us until we can't have it. Use this time to try to start your good habits because in a few months you'll be able to eat those foods again. I love the saying, "They did surgery on your stomach, not your brain." Definitely true! We still have to make the right choices.

That is one of my fears. I love food. I know that I will have to go through a grieving process after surgery but I've read it gets better. ????I know that doesn't help right this second though. I've also heard that sugar free popsicles are your new best friend...

Is anyone in Lake City, Florida? I'm starting the process of getting WLS the end of March or beginning of April. It would be nice to have a surgery buddy or someone that can give me a few pointers.
