Hello! I've been reading the posts on this site for several months and it is helpful! It gives me hope and I have learned so much useful information!
I have completed my six month pathway (surgeon and insurance requirements) and my gastric sleeve is scheduled for 9-22-2020! I start my two week liquid diet on 9-8-2020. I am so very ready!
My six months have seemed to take forever but maybe that has a little to do with our hot and humid summers we have here in Georgia. But the six months have given me the time to reflect and know I am 100% ready to use this tool! I don't know if people will understand when I say that I have "grieved" the loss of decades of horrible eating habits. I no longer go into a grocery store and buy whatever I feel like eating. But the most important reason I can no longer do that is because I need and want to be healthy. There are also so many negatives I will not miss once I reach my goal weight and maintain it for the rest of my life.
I have always been a private person and not one to share but this forum has given me a wealth of knowledge. I believe we help each other by sharing!
