This is all becoming real today. To the point, that it often causes "butterflies" in my tummy. I started my preop diet today.....1 day down, 13 days to go. It's hard to believe that in 13 days, I will officially be on the loser's bench with a lot of you here. This journey is very exciting as well as scary at the same time. I'm gonna be blogging and hanging out here a lot. I think it is my coping mechanism. While I have realtime support, those people are all skinny and can't begin to understand like y'all here can.

Best of luck to everyone in your journey!

Hi Amy,

I'm having the same feelings. I have my pre-admission testing/education class next week and surgery just over 2 weeks later. I go from being excited & feeling like I can't wait to omg what am I doing. I've just been trying to take it day by day and like you hanging out here absorbing all I can in the mean time.

We'll get thru this together!
