WhoMe?

Hi, BetterMeSoon and Ellenisbeingsleeved--my surgery is on Monday, 3/9. Off to drink a delicious Protein Shake and Water water water...????I had lunch (ok, I had water and Decaf tea) with my 4-years-past-GB friend yesterday (she's getting ready for another mini Ironman!!) as a most blessedly welcome pep talk and information dump going into the procedure, and she reiterated to me what she and others have said a million times--it's the best thing you'll ever do and you'll wish you'd have done it sooner!! I hope you have a beautiful weekend!

If you are starting this journey next week (or thereabouts), like me, I would love to keep in touch as we go through this! Never thought I would be "looking forward" to a surgery...but this will be worth it! I just turned 40, have two kiddos, blessedly, a great and supportive husband and family, and a heckuva lotta weight to lose--at 313 pounds and 5'7"--but I am ready to use this tool to turn my disastrous relationship with food around for good. Anyone else planning to get a trainer? My plan is to swap food obsession for a healthier exercise one. I hope I can still get those ol' muscles to remember what they are for....
Best wishes to everyone out there!!
