It's official. I have just 9 days left! I was at first very nervous and extremely moody from the diet changes, but I am much happier, have a positive mind set, and the liquid diet is going surprisingly well. I don't even think about food. I am all about the discipline. No is no and that's that. I'm so ready to start my new journey!

November 13th??

Hello sleeve twin

I'm a year out on that date. Wishing you and all the other November people lots of luck!

Thanks so much Laura! A wonderful day that is. I love seeing your comments and posts you have such a wonderful personality. Happy early one year out for you! You've done fabulous I see.

Thank you! A year has flown by... just think in a very short time from now you too will be happier and healthier!

The first week (or four:p) are tough physically and emotionally, be kind to yourself and give yourself time

Yes, I'm so excited to begin. Thank you for those helpful tips because I can't help but think how ill feel mentally about it the first couple of weeks. I am going to try and take it one day at a time. I live by "this too shall pass" lol.

Yes I knew from reading here that there would be some depressing days. And boy there was! Even though I losing weight I still had days where I just went back to bed crying. It helped knowing the emotions where normal and temporary.

But know that we are so lucky to have this opportunity and in the end it's worth the few down moments.

you may go through unscathed too! I was terribly addicted to food and missed my comfort eating.

I too am a Nov 13th sleever! Feeling very good about this as my insurance required 6 months of counseling and nutrition classes. Prepared me well in addition to the many years of trying to decide if WLS would be too "extreme" for me.

Decided a healthy me is what was best...

I wish you great success!

I am in Northern California. You?
