Surgery tomorrow!!!

Well, the day has finally arrived and I am so calm it's almost surreal. God is so good! This time tomorrow I will officially be a bandster and I say, "Bring It On!" I am sooo ready to no longer be the pig at the table! I'm truly ready to eat SMALL portions and become the type of heath conscious person that I admire. I'm going to be sooo proud of myself once I win this battle. And win I will!!!

Mom & Dad flew in from KY to be with me during this time and I am sooo grateful. We went out for my birthday dinner last night and I left feeling so stuffed and miserable. I am so ready for those days to be over with. I am going to truly embrace eating like a 150 lb. person and by this time next year, I am confident I will be a 150 lb. person.

I check-in at 6:00 a.m. and will have the procedure at 7:30 a.m. I fully anticipate being home from the hospital before noon.

We're going to take "BEFORE" photos and measurements soon. Gotta document this amazing journey! Whoo-hooo! I'm ready to get started! TOMORROW IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY HEALTHY LIFE! :tongue2:

I have debated on whether or not to be open about WLS at work and originally decided not to talk about it. Over the past few weeks I have questioned that decision, however, and told a few people recently with no regrets. I could tell that one person was biting their tongue, but that's a good thing! :thumbup: I just realized that I'm not ashamed of having WLS, so why hide it? I think that was the best decision for me. Well, it's time now to get started. Next time I write, my new life will be officially underway. HOW VERY EXCITING!!!

The person biting their tongue probably wishes she WAS you!

:tongue2: Joy
