I have a concert tonight for by boy band boyfriends NKOTB. Instead of dying with excitement I am worried about getting a table instead of a booth at dinner, fitting through the turnstiles at the concert, avoiding pictures with my friends and being too hot. I start my per-op diet tomorrow and surgery is 7/30. I know I made the right decision, can't wait to restart my life.

Enjoy the concert, put your fears aside and just think - you will never never be this weight again.... Life is on the up from tomorrow :-)

This surgery is not easy and there will be bumps in the road but life will get better and better! That's been my experience, even with the inevitable and downs.

So for tonight, have fun - and good luck with pre-op diet!!!!

Have a wonderful time & don't worry about a thing! Mark this as a milestone & hopefully next time you see them in concert, the NEW you will be unleashed!

Thanks for your words of support. I had a blast! I am off to a good start on pre-op diet. I just finished making some sugar free Jello and doctoring up some broth with bouillon. Yum, I hope. ????

They are STILL FINE LOL the OLD you will be the NOW you very shortly!!! Hugs!!!

Omg I hear that my surgery is the 24 th and I can't wait to feel good about my self and go out and see people and not be embarrassed about my weight and avoid pictures. Good luck

I completely understand, I thought like that all day every day, it sucks. I just thought I might try an amusement park soon! Very excited! I hope you have a very positive journey! Good Luck!
