QUESTION: IF YOU could tell your pre-op self ONE THING, ONE word of advise, something that you WISH SOMEONE WOULD have told you... WHAT WOULD IT BE???

that i (could) and wala......i can and i did

people need to believe in themselves ONE more time and then do what they have to do

(follow the dr's advice/instructions), leave the woe is me drama at the door, think positive, realize

they wont die on the liquid diet and that through the doors of WLS is a garden of better health....

Don't compare yourself to others. Your body is unique and it will lose when it wants to lose, not on the schedule or time frame of others.

If the 7 month post-op McButterpants could tell her pre-op self anything...Everything is going to be OK; stop worrying.

If I could tell myself one thing it would be to expect the unexpected. That this is a life changer for sure. The ups and downs and changes emotionally, mentally and physically are what you never thought would and will happen...Seeking out those that have been there is a real help. And trust your sleeve to do its job and get rid of that damn scale!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Numbers mean nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will never get the first 6 months after surgery back. Take advantage of the most restriction and lowest hunger levels you will have to maximize your weight loss.
