3 More Days!

Yay! Only 3 more days until I'm banded! I can't believe it's finally going to be here...

 

I'm getting nervous... Constantly questioning myself... I hope that's natural and normal. I have support from my fiance, stepfather, and sister-in-law, but I've had a hard time winning over my mom, brother, and dad. I find that a little strange that blood relatives are not so ok with this. Or I suppose the strange part is that my non-blood relatives (if I may call them that), are so keen on the idea. It's not that my family is telling me not to do it, they're just asking me if I'm really sure this is what I want to do---over and over and over...

 

I believe in my heart that I'm prepared for this journey. It's always been in my nature to rebel. I don't think they understand that this is not an act of rebellion, but an act of liberation. My family is overweight to obese, each and every member. I don't want to continue to live this way. I'm miserable unless I'm eating and eating leads to more misery...that vicious circle from which everyone suffers.

 

Now the pre-op diet, on the other hand, may be the death of me... :unsure: I'd kill for a steak or a cheeseburger, lol. :cursing::mad:

It is normal to be nervous and unsure at times, at least for me it was. I think it is like getting on a rollercoaster that is bigger than one you have ever been on. You want to. You are excited but you still think about maybe just not getting on. You have butterflies. You try to talk yourself out of it. When others are obese. I think they are almost jealous and afraid when they know someone close to them is getting WLS. Good luck!

Don't turn back, in the long run you won't regret it! I questioned myself too, I was laying on the operating table, and I kept saying to myself "what are you doing?!?" And after when it was all done, I still said to myself "what did you do?!?" But now, 7 weeks out, I have no regrets whatsoever! I'm eating less, have absolutely no pain, and i feel GREAT about myself! I want to shout from the rooftop I LOST OVER 20 LBS!! And the best part is knowing more weight will come off. You're lucky, you have support, I had told NO ONE, not the husband, kids, family, friends...It was a personal thing i was going through, i did it for ME and didn't want anyone saying it was a bad idea. And i would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Keep us posted!
