I know exactly how you feel!! Mine is this thursday and it still is hard to realize that this is really happening! But then some moments it hits me how close it is and I'mjust like..wow what am I doing!? we will get through this! and we will be better for it!

I loled many a time reading this! great story girl!

I've kept mine very private. Only close family and really close friends know about it. My co workers have no idea...which has been difficult!! They know I'm having surgery but that's it. For me, I think I main reason for keeping it as secretive as possible is because EVERYONE seems to have an opionion on it. I can't hear anymore opinions because at this point my minbd is more than made up and every negative opinion is just aggrevating or insulting. Also, I think being fat is something we all want to hide but we can't. At least for me it is. It is something I am terribly ashamed of and always have been. So when it comes to this surgery, talking about it is basically talking about me being fat and that is something I try and avoid. Hope this helps you to kind of understand it...I am proud of myself for making this decision that I know will save my life, but it's just a very personal thing.

I'm 5'8 :] Thank you for the kind words...I will definatly keep y'all posted on how surgery goes! right before me! Good luck!!! you'll do amazing!

haha I think I love you ;]

I hope I'm like y'all!! I'm so nervous about being in lots of pain all week. not to mention, the hunger games movie comes out the day after my surgery and I want to see it ASAP! haha I'm hoping I'll feel good like you girls and I can get out and about with in a few days! Did y'all have any trouble drinking enough water?

good luck!!! I think I almost cracked when I got my surgery date---lol it's a weird feeling being so excited for something but so nervous all at the same time! I, too, have a wonderful hubby that is thin and supportive..but just can't fully understand all of these emotions. It's like going through a really bad break up with food. But it'll be okay when we get a brand new awesome relationship with new cute clothes, right? Anyway---good luck girl! :]
