Anticipation and all that comes with it

I finally meet my surgeon this Friday, April 11. That means a surgery date can't be too far behind! :thumbs_up: I am excited, but nervous as well, which I think is only natural. I keep thinking about so many things in my life (past and future) that have led me to this place. All of the eating triggers - who knew there could be so many?? All of the pain and emotion I have stuffed inside myself instead of dealing with it - if tears were Prozac, I would have OD'd years ago.:blink: Now, to have all of it coming down at once in addition to dealing with preparations for surgery is SO overwhelming!! :confused2: But I know it will all be worth it, no matter how hard it is now. Some days I just feel like my heart is being ripped out from all of the emotions. But, as I move into my future, I know my life is not only going to be better, but also easier because I will never again let so much negativity build up inside and take control of me as I have done in the past. All of it has to change if I am going to have the life I want and I am starting on it NOW!!!:thumbup:

I finally meet my surgeon this Friday, April 11. That means a surgery date can't be too far behind! :biggrin: I am excited, but nervous as well, which I think is only natural.
