wow its really coming quick im getting so nervous I almost changed my mind I really need to get it together lol

When I attended the final pre-op meeting, the nurse practioner told us not to feel that we had to have the surgery, that we can back out at any time because this is a permanent decision and a major lifechange. She said just recently, a woman got as far as on the table and just before they gave her the anesthesia, she changed her mind and the surgeon said "okay, call us when you are ready" and she went home. Another guy just didnt show up period on the day of surgery and never called them.

My surgery is Tuesday (July 16). I sit here and think about whats gonna be happening and tell myself, "self, this is too much. I'm not ready for this. I'll just try again and do it on my own." Then I remember that I've told myself that so many times and lost some weight for a minute, then went to Harold's or Church's and bought a bucket of chicken and practically ate it all by myself. So much for doing it on my own.

So I had to do it the old fashioned way. I got in a corner and prayed on it and whatever happens, I feel comfortable that God has my back and will see me through this cause I asked Him to. My coworkers (they are not religious folks) keep asking me if I'm scared and I said not anymore and they asked what changed and I said because I'm leaving all my worries to God and will just go there July 16 expecting to come out of the anesthesia and seeing my hubby, kids and my mom. They look at me like "really?"

Keep your eye on the prize! A chance at a healthy, active, longer life, the admiration of friends and family, the dignity and selfworth you deserve (but may not have always felt entitled to )

Being fat sucks, but remember WE DONT SUCK!
