Dear Me,

Dear Me,

Are you ready? Soon you are going to be making a change. Soon you are going to have surgery! Are you ok?

Love, Me

 

OMG!!! I am so excited, I probably should be a little nervous, I mean after all I am CHOOSING to have surgery. But years of trying different diets, programs and pills, this is it. My mind is so wrapped around making this a success. Granted I'm PreOP as of today and at PostOP have 6 weeks of liquid/puree, I feel I am in the right place in my life and mind. I have filled my tool belt so when my surgery is complete I will have ALL the tools I need.

My family is behind me 100%, my husband is totally excited for me becaue he knows of all the sadness being overweight has brought me. He's excited too, because he's going to be eating better and losing along with me. I'm not one to think about the future or worry about it but I am thinking about it now, and what its going to mean for me.

It all feels so right! :bored:

    You are off to a wonderful start. I think it is wonderful that you are thinking about the tools that you will need. That is so important. I have found that when I was post op and had a bad day, it was because I was not prepared or did not have my tools...in the form of planning out my day as far as protein and water. I am wishing you the best on your journey. This site is also a wonderful resource to add to your tools!
