I am very nervous and excited I finally was approved and have a date. A date that will forever be burned in my mind as the beginning of a new way of life. A life I can fully participate in and not hide behind food. With the great support of the group at Cleveland clinic, this forum, my psychologist and family and friends, I feel I can make this transition. The challenges I face will be met head on. I have 4 more days of eating solid foods, have said good bye to pizza, pastas, sugar, carbonated soda, and am weening off cafeine slowly. The two weeks of liquids will cleanse the liver and prepare me mentally and physically. I have found meditation tapes to listen to to relax my mind. I am totally focused and will not allow myself to sway to the negative side, the coulda,woulda,shoulda side... everytime one of those thoughts enters i will allow it no time to stick around. My mind will see my goals and the wonderful life I will experience being able to walk, dance and live life again.
