So tomorrow is my surgery date and I'm more excited than nervous. I've been on a liquid diet for a week now and that was tough but I'm so ready to turn my life around especially before going off the college. I'm so thankful to have my family's support. I'm mostly nervous about the surgery because I've never been in this situation before. The hardest thing for me however has been having no one to really talk to except my family. Considering I'm still in high school a lot of kids aren't aware of surgery at this age and my closest friends have never had an issue with weight and the effects it has on health neither but they're all supportive and I hope I can really change my life.
