Hi Molly,
Thanks for this great post. I too often get my feelings & facts confused. I rely on feelings way too much. I've worked for quite awhile on basing my decisions on fact.
Thanks Molly, I'm thankful for you and all your encouragement.
Happy Thanksgiving~

Hi & welcome to Life Starts.
We are glad you are here. It is a great place to get encouragement & care. I hope you feel welcomed. I'm so glad you've been approved and will have your surgery before you know it.
It is an amazing journey.
I had RNY 12-21-09. I've lost 100 pounds. I'm off diabetic med, C-Pap machine. My arthritis is much improved. I feel better than I have in years.
There have been hard moments but overall I would do it again.
The first 8 weeks for so I thought every day "what have I done to myself?" At about that 8th week I turned the corner.
It is very normal to have emotions all over the place before and after the surgery. It is major surgery and the changes are huge.
Stay connected to other WLS people & take one day at a time.
Is it okay for me to pray for you?
Hugs~

Topic: RE: OTHER SCALE VICTORIES
I agree Tink. For me being almost a year from surgery. My weight loss has slowed so I'm always looking for non scale victories. I've had many...
...crossing my legs
...wearing a size 10 jeans
...feeling better than I've felt in years
...fitting in an airplane seat and resturant booth
...people treat me different (I'm not sure if it's because
of the weight loss or because I have more confidence)

I agree this was a good reminder for us all not to make excuses for ourselves. Have a good workout and have a good weekend!!!

Good message. As I contemplate whether or not to go to exercise on Thanksgiving Eve, with all I have left to do and bone chillingly cold drizzle awaiting, your message inspired me. Thanks for posting it.
Off to the gym. Happy Thanksgiving!

Congratulations on maneuvering through the insurance hoops and having your surgery scheduled! It will be one of the best Christmas presents ever.
You're right, your physical hunger will be reduced. You'll still have to deal with emotional and psychological hunger and cravings. Just days home from the surgery, my family made pizza and I walked by and thought it smelled good and I'd have some!! I didn't. That was just a habit for me. I wasn't prepared for that false hunger, but you are. You're already ahead of the game.
Best wishes on your surgery.
