So after months of appts and weigh ins and back and forth and back and forth.. I was approved ..yay for me right. Now I'm scared .. Not of surgery its self. Not of the pain but I'm scared. I've always been fat. Like idk anything else...why is that so scary to me????

I understand, I've been fat my whole life. It is weird thinking what it's gonna be like? My date is March 2nd and this month is flying by. I find myself wanting to eat and wanting sugar. I was fine during my 3 month diet. I lost 20 lbs no cravings but now I'm wanting to eat.

I'm also stressing over money and the house. I have to have to have 300 bucks to the doctor on the 12 this month.

You're not crazy for being scared! It's a normal thing to feel especially bc big changes are going to be happening to your body! Think of it as a new beginning. My surgery is tomorrow and it's now just starting to hit me that people are going to be viewing me in a different light because I won't be fat anymore.

I think I was scared until I was knocked out, but there were other emotions too. Confident that I was being taken care of, confident in my body's natural ability to heal and do what it needed to do, confident in my surgical team and family support. Some how the confidence outweighed the fear and I moved forward. I'm 3 weeks out and and still don't believe I did it! You'll do great.
