Hi Fabulous!

Sorry you can't sleep. It's exciting and when the decision is made after all that work for approval it's gotta be over the top exciting.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow.

Take care and you're gonna do great!

Sweet dreams.


I was the same way. It is hard to get the mind in a place to let you rest when you have such a big day tomorrow. Try to at least rest, even if you can't sleep well.

Good luck tomorrow. I'm sending you good thoughts.

I was just thinking about how nervous I will be... i will tell you what i will repeat to myself when I go (4/8)

Just think of ALL the good things. Think about all the new clothes, how you will feel, the confidence you will have!!!!

Just be excited and happy you are changing yourself for the better!!!!

Awe. I'm sure I'll be in the same boat when the time comes. It'll come. Blessings hon!

Thinking of you! This is one of the major defining moments in your life, how exciting! I hope you can relax if not sleep ;-) I'll be thinking of you all day!

If it makes you feel any better, I got to the hospital the day before my surgery. So I had to sleep in a hospital bed and stew over the decision I was making. I literally made myself sick. All. Night. Long.

But I'm 4 months post op, and so happy with my life now!! It's different, yes, but SO WORTH IT!
Good luck, and I'm so happy for you!!


There has not been a moment of regret. I'm 5 mo post op and down 117lbs. I've barfed my brains out. But that's only because I ate too fast, wrong stuff or didn't listen to the doctors. It's worth it. It's soooo worth it.


Thinking of you today and prayers for a speedy recovery :)



How are you doing? Thinking of you :)
