I recently went on a long road trip and had such a nice time. Funny thing is, I didn't feel fat for most of this vacation. I felt free of judgement and didn't care what people thought! Maybe it was going to the Midwest where a lot of folks are overweight, or maybe just being around so many people who loved me (my family) that made me feel pretty good about myself. Now I am back home in CA. and my surgery date has been set. I haven't dieted or thought about food restriction for over a month! I am happy to have my date but wonder if I have prepared enough? If I will be able to succeed on the pre-op liquid diet, etc. I need to get my head in the game and wonder if anyone else has felt the same way?
