Work your program like it's your job.
what we have done in the past didn't work fornus or we wouldn't be having surgery so trust the process and take it seriously....
Agree. This is one of the best pieces of advice I got too and I remind myself daily, even after 19 yrs.
Love this one too. Great advice for us all, no matter where we are at in our journey.
Melody, great one. We all are very different and need to remember that.
It's a great day to be alive. 
My husband had the sleeve procedure done three years ago and is very supportive and encouraging; his best advice is to remember that each day brings you closer to your goal, whether it's in the preparation time or immediately post-surgery or every day afterward and to just focus on TODAY!!

My reasons for having surgery was to make a healthier life for me and my family. My boys have grown and I embrace all that I have accomplished by making precious memories with them. Without surgery I may still be obese or even not here. AS of now I battle regain but still moving forward to a happy healthier me.
All I ever wanted acceptance and to feel like my mom was proud of me, so I thought if I had surgery got skinny I would be able to be viewed as accepted by my mother. Little did I know that the result of choosing surgery was going to be such a troubled yet WORTHY journey.
Some of my happiest Non-scale Victories include fitting into a seat, no overhang of the sides, no belly touching steering wheel, or table when at fixed booth, crossing legs for the first time ever at age 35!!! And my other is simply walking alongside someone and not having to stop to catch breath like I can walk and talk at the same time!!! Lol
