Greetings everyone! I'm new to the site and hope to gain much insight and encouragement from you and your experiences with the sleeve. My surgery date is: March 15, 2012. I started my pre-surgery liquid diet on: March 1, 2012. So far, the liquid diet isn't much fun... I'm really missing food.... the smells, the look of it, the tastes, chewing stuff. But, I'm also seeing that food hasn't been my friend for a long time and this liquid diet is really showing me how "unconscious" I have been in the past about eating anything, in any amount, anytime I wanted, regardless of consequences. I'm hoping that as the pounds come off, I will see that I'm really turning things around and treating my body with the respect and giving it the healthy things it has always deserved. I look forward to gaining new friends here & also being a friend too. Blessings!
