So I'm a newbie here and I'll be getting the DS in less than two days. The reality is starting to creep in. I've had open heart surgery and other procedures so the actual surgery doesn't worry me but I am already preparing for the depression and sense of loss that I am going to experience when I can no longer turn to food, my drug of choice. The lifestyle changes and mental part of this procedure is what scares me. I now that I need to do this because I could never do it on my own but I am scared. I just hope I'm doing the right thing.
