Well here I am. Counting down the hours untill surgery and I have to say this has been one of the longest days of my life. Excited to begin this long awaited journey one minute and then totally freaking out the next, thinking "what am I doing?". Rethinking my reasons for being here and focusing on my goal is what gives me moments of clarity. I wouldn't be here if I didn't need the help. Having this site available has been a life saver. While some of the posts people write on here can scare the crap out of you (ie: not losing weight, being miserable, stuck episodes) I feel that I have also gained priceless knowledge of what not to do which makes me feel confident that I will be successful. So thank you to those that post encouraging and inspiring posts that keep me going on this journey.
