The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good- tomorrow is the big day!:redface:

 

The Bad- I was starving on the pre-op diet. The shakes I made were delicious but 30 mins after I would drink one, I'd be hungry again. So looking forward to not feeling that way!

 

The Ugly- Just took my "before" pictures... so depressing :frown: especially when my daughter said, "Mommy you don't look that big with your clothes on, I had no idea!" On the other hand, it gives me even more motivation to be successful. I do not want to look or feel like this a second longer, tomorrow can not come soon enough for me!

You are smart to have taken "before" pics. I was so depressed about how big I was I refused to let my kids take pictures of me. Now I am 70 pounds lighter and wish I had the pictures to compare. You may be heavy but you are blessed girl, you are absolutely beautiful. People can lose weight but you cant do nothing about ugly, lol. God bless and good luck. You are in for a wild ride. It wont always be easy but this is one of the best things you have ever done in your life, i promise. Remember; NOTHING tastes as good as skinny will feel!!!!!!!

Good Luck tomorrow! I had my surgery today and feel good. But I have been up and walking which has helped tons. It has helped with gas and general sores in the port area and and other areas. I am sure as the day pass I will feel more, but I'm trying to stay positive and move. Be ready for the cottonmouth of a life time. Its bad? Good Luck!
