I got the letter two days ago. I should be eating better, healthier, smaller portions.... no drinks with meals. no fat foods. I should have been preparing better instead of just 'in my head'. i know i have to start drinking shakes and eating better. has anyone else started late on changing habits?

Thanks for the encouragement!

LOL, i mean the carbonation expands the stomach.

Hello, I went to all my classes and they said no beer or soda (anything carbonated) because the carbonation expand the soda. that's what I understood.

i think if u r registered on this site, we have email/chat available. i would like to chat with anyone, but i may not have answers, im a newbie. try sending me a nessage thru here.

i'm with u! waiting for insurance approval. i am also getting excited reading the success stories. i want to be one too! right now i am having difficulty NOT drinking my water with meals or too soon before n after. its hard. also difficult exercising regularly. but onward we go, no looking back...

I think I'm mist nervous about hanging skin. And giving up things I love for a better body. Of course I will be getting healthier. Right now I am diabetic, have bad knees, high cholesterol, varicose viens. And risk of everything else that comes with morbid obesity. One sister say YES and one sister says NO. I keep hearing, "you can do it on your own", "you haven't even tried yet". I am trying to walk more and swim more, but this body is difficult to move. Any words of wisdom out there??

wow! sounds like my life story! thank u so much for sharing! i too think that way about good.... like i will miss it dearly (especially breads and sweets). i am praying that those cravings go away and will be replaced with the healthy foods that i love (salads and fruit, salmon, veggies) how does that saying go?? "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"....

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement! I know this is the best tool for me.
