Probably the best advice I can give a pre-opper is that in addition to WLS, your attitude will ensure a successful journey.

Moaning and groaning about head hunger, "stalls", working out, etc will only cloud your ability to fully appreciate this "gift" of modern day medicine to those of us struggling with obesity.

I will say, without a doubt, my attitude has been my biggest secret weapon throughout this amazing journey.

Is this easy? No. Am I always feeling fantastic? No. Are there times I wish I could turn to copious amounts of mexican food to drown my sorrows or express my happiness or just because I'm bored? Hell yes!

I make a conscientious decision, minute-by-minute to make this journey the amazing thing I had hoped it to be.

Don't ever hesitate to reach out to me if you need a pep-talk! We are all in this together!
