I don't know what is going on with me lately but I feel renewed... the decision to have this surgery feels liberating and even before I go under the knife, already I feel more confident?!

Today I told all my family and friends about my decision -- and even started a YouTube vlog and a blog tracking my journey. It is SO unlike me to put myself out there so publicly, but already I can feel myself changing, being more outspoken and being the confident person I know I can be.

I feel like even just making the decision to do this has made me change for the better. Did anyone else feel like this?

I'm so ready for my surgery -- the date is confirmed for July 30. Bring on even more change!

That's awesome! Keep the positive momentum.. You are going to do great!

Yes in many ways that is how I felt prior to surgery and I feel better every day after. I feel more in control of my life and that I make better decisions. This is carrying over into other areas besides food and exercise. Good luck!!

Congratulations @tjstark It's a wonderful journey ahead for you!
