Pre Surgery Thinking

By nebulamystic

· 605 views

I am still processing the fact that I will be having surgery in less than a month, June 25th is quickly approaching. This is a huge life decision to be made and one I am glad I am embarking on. I am having the surgery for health facts more than losing the weight but I will enjoy doing both. Just not sure how I will feel at a smaller size...I have been big all my life and now the possibility of weighing 130 lbs instead of 225 is sinking in. How has everyone who has lost the weight or close to goal dealt emotionally to losing it? Just thinking about the bigger picture and coming to terms with the life changes ahead of me.

    I had a similar thought today. I was in a clothing store and as I passed by the misses sizes, I had to stop and look at the clothes, I picked up a cute dress size 10 and it looked teeny tiny! I just stood there staring...even thinking of a size 14 is daunting.

    I'm looking forward to reading others input on this also.
