I am on scheduled on April 11 and on day 11 of 20 day liquid pre op diet. On Saturday my son was in a motorcylce accident and severely broke his leg in several places. For the first time in my life I did not reach for something to eat!! I grabbed my bottles of Isopure and flavored waters and to the hospital I went. And... you know what?? I survived and it wasn't even hard. I made up my mind last fall when I began this journey that I am going to eat to live from now on. I ate too well ( anything and everything I wanted plus lots more) for 54 years. It was time to change and by golly I have!! Just had to tell someone that would understand.

OMG Kathy! I'm so sorry about your son! I hope he is ok. Congrats on being able to go through that without turning to food! Big cheers to you from your sleeve buddy, Cinda

Great Job It is the move that you need to see that you will make it. I was on here getting ready to share my good news but felt the need to reply to yours. Yeah you made it thru one of your own hoops and the is the best news ever. Things are looking better for me too. I will have my on April 11th too.Good luck to us and god speed to recovery.Kathy

Cinda... thank you so much!! I knew you would understand Gabe has a long recovery ahead of him. The accident broke the ball off the top of the tibia ( big bone in leg) and it is just flopping. It also broke the tibia in several places and shattered up through his knee cap. They can't do surgery on it until Thursday so some of the swelling can go down. He is in unbearable pain.

Lilu--- Congrats on getting your date moved up!! Thank you for your sweet post. I apprecitate it so much. Good luck to you also and keep me posted on your journey.

Thank you I will hope for a speedy recovery for your son and for you too.

Good for you! And I bet you feel a million times better NOT binging - if you had binged, you would've just felt even worse. Make this the first time you've adhered to your new habit of NOT stress eating. Next time you are challenged, you can just say, "I've already done this once before, I can do it again."

I hope your son gets better soon!

Thanks Blackberryjuice!! I am proud of myself! I can & will do this!

Gabe (son) is doing better than expected this evening. Just wanting his surgery on Thurs to be over with.
