Surgery in 2 days and scared of failure....

So my surgery is in 2 days and the only thing I keep thinking about is if im gonna fail at this or not. I think I just have such high expectations for myself that it's getting in my way. I have so much weight to lose and its overwhelming at times, know what I mean? I want to wear a size 12 but im a size 26 and that's a long way to go. Im excited im making this decision to have WLS but it's a long road ahead. I pray my body goes along with it all and just starts losing but I realize that I have to make the right food choices as well and get off my butt and workout again. Im gonna have to take it one day at a time and set little mini goals for myself. A lot of my friends and family know about this surgery and I feel like I have to prove to them all that it was the right decision and that It does work....a lot of pressure! I got this!

You will only fail if you decide not to follow through and fall back into your old habits. Once you are banded you will have an all new mindset.

I think having high expectations is a great thing. I had high expectations, I had no intention of failing, I was going to get to goal and surpass them. I think that's a great headspace for success, personally!
