Secrets to Success: Caution Tough Love

Might be true if the cookie was 6' 2" and 270lbs!  ha ha.....goin into a "carb coma" just thinkin' bout it1  LOL! 

I stole the cookie from Frisco!  Don't tell

Amen!  Looking back from 14 months out, it is just amazing how fast it has all gone by!  The weight loss period isn't all that long in the scheme of things (even though it took me a year to lose all my weight and I thought it would take FOREVER!), and of that, the first few weeks post-op, with liquids and mushies and all the adjustments we have to go through, are a teeny teeny tiny part of the experience!!  So just keep telling yourself "this, too, shall pass" and keep those eyes on the prize!!  You WILL get through this, and it WILL be fabulous, and in my humble opinion the most sensible way to get through it is to do your very best to make every day as positive as possible!

Thank you, that is exactly how I feel right now, I hope I continue to feel this way after my surgery next Monday.

Thanks so much for your encouragement and great advice!  I'm still in the pre-op phase and this site has seriously given me a wealth of information and insight!  I think I should also copy this to look back on when I'm having a tough time.  I know those times will come, but I'm pretty determined to live my life fully, so it'll inspire me to keep my eye on the prize!! Thanks again!
