Thank you Kathy for the information. I am finding my way through all the steps, by being on this site. And getting posts like yours:)
It is strange, because I am starting to tell people that I am going to have this surgery, so it is like it is real. I think this is important for me to start making it a part of my daily thoughts.
When I eat now, I think of the way things will be after surgery, and that my choices are going to be a big part of changing habits:)
