Yesterday, an acquaintance of mine who I did not tell about my surgery, sent me a text claiming he had dreamed about me. When I asked him what he dreamed, he said that he dreamed he hadn't seen me for a while, and when he did I had lost an exorbitant amount of weight, and I was skinny. He said he was so shocked that he was a bit mad, and sorry he had not had the chance to "be with me" when I was fat! I thought, "Wow. This is really going to happen, and it is going to work."

Finally, after a number of grueling months, I've gotten my surgery date! I want to cry. I'm happy and terrified, and filled with emotion. This process has brought so much to light already, and I feel like new soil, moist and tilled, awaiting the planting of the seeds of a healthy and happy, creative and expressive future. I just had to share. Thank you so much for reading. This forum has helped me every step of the way, from curious to I am.

Gratitude.

Congrats!!!! Let the changes begin!!!
