I got a call from Tri-Care today telling me I was approved. The letter was sent from my dr yesterday, and approved today! Im excited but nervous. I know I'm ready for this, but part of me worries about the change as well. Am I ready for my family back home to see me at christmas, even with my small change? A 3 week liquid diet is hoping to shed off 20lbs, and even that will be a noticable change.

This seems to be the perfect time in my life for it. I'm young (23) my husband is getting out of the navy next year so we are moving back to civilian life, and we have a beautiful 10 month old daughter. I want to be around to enjoy all this. Let's just hope that I'm strong enough to keep up with this new life that has been given to me.

That's great! You can look forward to a new, healthier lifestyle for you and your family. It's great that you're doing this when your family is young so they will learn good eating habits and not suffer as you have. Best of luck on your journey!
