Hi~ I joined OH yesterday, July 23, 2011.  I'm just beginning my 6 month pre-op process.  I've met with my nutritionisit and plan to begin exercise plan next week.  I also need to schedule my consultation with the surgeon, find a schedule my psych assessment and start support group meetings.  It's alot of work but I honestly think that keeping busy will help.  My family is "on board".  My friends don't really know yet.  The few I have told have had the same reation "OH NO! Are you SURE you want to do that?  Can't you just diet and exercise???"  I can't stand that reaction and I really have to count to 10 and mentally say a prayer for patience.  I just don't understand why people think it's ok to make those judgements of me.  I hate secrets though, but feel like I need to be stronger on my feet to take these reactions on.  I'll take it one day at a time and try not to be a constant blogger.  But please bare with me.... Here I go!
