Surgery Is Thursday!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Thursday and I'm so nervous about this journey in my life I'm starting....I have always been the fat sister, friend, co worker, wife, stepmother....without the weight who am I??? I dont know how to be skinny. I actually had a dream last night that I was getting prepped for surgery and before they put me under i freaked out and said.." i cant do this" :ohmy:and I jumped off the table and ran out....I just did my before pics which are in the album I just created and NOW I remember why I'm doing this...I'm flippin huge!! I cant believe I let myself get this big etc. But I am still nervous about who am I if not the fat person.:confused2:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Blessings to all

I SOOOO kwym!!! Not only how not to be the fat girl, but also how to deal with the fact that as we get thin, how to deal with the attention we'll be getting. (It's AMAZING...you stop being invisible when you're not fat anymore.)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
