19 Days (reminding myself)

Only 19 days until surgery! I feel like today is the first day that every time I think about the surgery, I get a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Not that I'm second guessing myself, I guess it's just anxious energy. I do have to remind myself occasionally why I am going this route. All my tests came back good, I have no sleep apnea, no heart problems, nothing wrong with me that people would usually relate to being obese. I'm sure those problems would probably come later though. However, I have noticed a lot lately that when I start to walk after sitting for a while, my legs hurt. I feel like I'm limping a little until my legs get used to it. It's a very odd feeling and I've only noticed it for the past few months or so. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, I helped out with a childrens Halloween party on Sunday, and that night, I felt like EVERYTHING hurt (thanks to a lively game of Simon Says) and I was extremely tired the next day. One of the main reasons I am doing this, is because I desperately want to have children one day. Sorry for the TMI, but there was a time when about 3 months went by and I didn't have my period. I am usually pretty regular and got really spooked. Hence the reason I started to research WLS. I am a bit anxious for reactions I may receive after surgery but I'll jump that hurdle when I get to it. Well I guess that's it for now.
