signing consent

Well tommorrow I go in to sign my OR consent form. I am so excited, although not looking forward to the liquid diet. That is going to be a real test of my resolve, I know I can do it, but I dont think I am going to be pleasant to be around, have to put in those hours somehow, or maybe it wont be as bad since I know its for a good reason, I know I can , I know I can. I know I can.

You can do it,It is not as bad as it sounds.I was the same on the 2 weeks.I found the 2 weeks after not as good but Iam now on my 4 weeks and down 22bls.So you can do it I know you can.

Which wls are you having?  It sounds worse than it is. I think you will do fine. I find the people who think it is going to be easy and can'i wait to get started are the ones who have the hardest time. The ones who     realize it will be difficult are going into it with some reality of expectations. No it is not easy but it is doable as all the rest of us can attest to. The worse is the first few days and it gets easier from then. The first few days you will be hungry because you body wants food. After the first few days you get used to not having food and your body wants it less. Still not easy but it get easier. The t.v. ads for food are a killer! Go to bed early, read, knit whatever to distract yourself and get your mind off food. If it get too hard come on here and vent to us instead of your family. We've been there and can understand the feelings more so than your family. We have big ears and thick skins. YOU CAN DO IT!!

thanks for your words of encouragement.
