Awesome!!! Congrats!!! Are u feelin nervous? I am.




Congrats to you too! Yes. Definitely nervous. And anxious. I've been doing so much to prepare (reading, classes, etc), but it's still 36 days away!!!!! I feel like the wait is just empty time to worry. I've run out of "to do" items and now it's just waiting. I'm hoping the next 36 days fly by. But the nerves definitely get worse the closer I get.

As nervous/anxious/scared or downright terrified I may get....I'm going through with this. My weight has fluctuated my whole life. Always heavy....but different degrees of heavy. Now, I'm 42, 330 lbs, with 2 knees that are so bad it's hard to walk. That's not a future I'm going to let happen. I'm going to get healthy again and use this surgery as the tool to do it.

That is the speech I give myself when the doubt/fear gets strong. I read on one of these posts to create a list of all the reasons (big and small) of why you're having surgery. It's been great for me. It's something tangible to look at and focus on when I'm feeling weak. Maybe it would help you too. 36 days. We can make it through 36 days to change our lives!!
