Hi :-)I am new to this whole process and have 5 months to go before I can have surgery (IF insurance approves it) and just wanted to tell all the other newbies that I have found HOPE again! The first month was so hard because to make any progress, I had to talk about my weight issue -- ALOT. I got so depressed (which is not like me) and miserable. However, by taking one day at a time and making changes every few days instead of all at once, I am doing much better. The key here is that I didn't realize that I had lost hope several years ago of ever being healthy again let alone thin. Now that I have HOPE again, I am feeling better than I have in years even though I am still fat and unhealthy! It has given me drive, determination, a positive attitude, and even more ENERGY! Who woulda thunk it???? I thank God for sticking with me, I am going to make it and so can YOU!
