Topic: RE: Got my Date
That's so soon! I'm so excited for you! Good luck with everything. I thought the liquid diet was the hardest part so if you can do that - you are all set! :)

Topic: So, how do you regain your focus when you begin to slip?
There have been several times over my 4 1/2 years post-op where I've lost focus on what I was doing and forgot where I came from and the dangers thay lay ahead if I continued to do so. It seemed to me that I would continue on that descruptive path until my clothes would start getting snug and then I would up the exercise program and seriously watch what I eat. For the most part I do pretty well with my food, but there are more times than I care to share that chicken wings and pizza wind up on my plate.
So, my question to those of you that are a little further out, is what do you do when you realize you've fallen off track? Is it really as simple as getting back on. Is the 5 day liquid diet a regular occurance for you? I'm just curious how others deal with it compared to how I've dealt with it.

Topic: RE: Start over again
Sylvie, I couldn't agree more! There are so many people that visit this board but don't often post that it would be very easy to get this thing rolling again. Oldheads, newbies, lurkers, whomever. I challenge everybody that reads this to log on at least one time per day (if possible) and respond to at least one thread (starting one would be great as well). Even if it's a "good job" or "attaboy". Kind words and inspiration go a long way. Well said Sylvie.

Indeed. :) Hi Stephanie. I'm not sure you know me, but maybe. I've been on for a little over a year and a half (something like that). I'd be really interested to hear how you are keeping your weight off! I'm terrified that it will creep back on for me. h

I hear you, and I applaud you, sister. I don't have any kids and I'm pertrified of the concept of being resposible for a little person and their contribution to this world. But you're going to do fabulously. I tend to believe that if you at least PRETEND that you know everything, you're always right and that you ARE in control, that child will believe it. ;) lol Good luck! I admire your courage. Plus isn't it amazing to think that you MADE a PERSON?! A little you and a little Jeff? It's wild!
