I can't believe I'm here! I feel like I'm dreaming. I'm very excited and anxious. I look forward to fast forwarding 1 year and seeing the outcome.

Things I look forward to doing: crossing my legs like a lady; wearing pretty shoes again; shaving my legs without getting winded....doing ANYTHING without getting winded.

Heck - I'm just excited!

Huge congrats to you! It is a very exciting time. I know exactly what you mean about being anxious and nervous and excited at the same time. Just know that even though the next few days and weeks will be incredibly hard, they will be SO worth it in the end! Focus on one day at a time... heck one hour at a time! Do the things you need to do to take care of yourself and ensure a safe recovery. Sip, sip, sip. Walk, walk, walk. Take all your meds and vitamins as prescribed. And try to get your protein in. It will feel like a full time job keeping track of it all. Especially the water in the beginning. But hang tough and you WILL get through!

Thank you VERY much!

Mine is in two days! I feel the same as you-- I'm so nervous, but I'm also SO excited! I just want Friday to be here!

Merry Christmas girls!!
