Wow!! Both of you? That's awsome! I'm excited too...but man am I scared...it's already started an I'm in the city of the unknown but I do feel like I'm embracing things...

I have a different 8-15. That will be my first official weigh in and diet start. Not as exciting but still a good step.

Great step! I think the hardest part is going through all the initial stuff and wondering about things, dieting, seeing medical professionals, this whole journey is insanely demanding! Lol.

Ye it seems to be!!! Good luck to all I you. I'll certainly be thinking about you!

I'm on the 15th...

Thinking-I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet and just realized I was supposed to be drinking Low Sugar stuff too.. Not that i was adding sugars, just drinking juice with my Protein drinks... .OOPPSS I've already messed up... Maybe not too bad... I'll get it right starting tomorrow. I hope that it doesn't matter that much. I have been eating 750-100 cal, low fat, not too high carb.

DOING- working my hiney off getting everything at work and with the kids lined up for next week when I'm out of town. Also packing my bags, getting all my stuff that I need together for when I get back home, Reading, reading, reading... about what to eat when I get home, what to do when I get home, etc... And I'm exhausted from all the running around.

feeling-

nervous- Nervous that I wont lose weight after going thru all of this more than anything. I don't lose weight well at all. I can follow a healthy diet and exercise and only lose minimal weight. I just don't want this to be another failure. I know everyone has told me that I WILL lose, but I still worry about it.

A little sad that my relationship with my "friend food" is changing.. forever. BUT Excited- about what the future brings-- I am focusing on the WHY I am doing this... For my kids, for my health. AND, excited that I am going to be able to cross my legs again, that my knees will feel better, that I will be able to buy clothes in a regular store, that I will feel better, that I will be healthier...

HOW BOUT YOU???
