A Fresh Start To College!

Well I'm about to be a freshman in college this August, and had my gastric sleeve exactly one month before leaving. I had it one week ago today, and I have already lost 12 pounds! Woo hoo! It is definitely encouraging when you can see results so quickly! The first couple of days were hard because eating went from being a comfort to a chore. I am trying to remember "you eat to live. Not live to eat." Eating has been my comfort blanket all of my life, and suddenly it cant be any more. Its how it should be, but it is still a hard adjustment. But I am looking forward to doing the things the next few years that I haven't been able to do because of my weight. It was hard seeing my friends going on dates and sitting at home alone on the couch pigging out on chips and ice cream while watching Pretty Woman. I skipped my senior prom because I knew I couldn't get a date, and there was no way I would be caught dead in a sleeveless dress. I was afraid to sit in a desk at school because I was afraid I wasn't going to fit. My weight crippled me for so many years, but I am so happy that food will no longer be a crutch for me!     Anyone have any tips for newbies?
