It's Surgery Eve

Tomorrow is my surgery. I feel like I'm going to wake up and it's Christmas. The future is bright! I can envision a HEALTHIER me now - being more active, less self-conscious about how I look, how I'm always the biggest in the room, etc. People keep asking me if I'm scared or nervous. I can honestly say I'm not. I've put a ton of thought and planning in to this. I've followed my Center's directions. I've lost weight pre-surgery. I have amazing support. And I want this BADLY. 99% of weight loss is MENTAL. I've got this and I will be successful. I'm excited to fit into smaller clothes, shop for amazing jeans at The Gap or Levis (no offense Lane Bryant and Macy's Plus Size, but this girl's MOVING ON), walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like I will fall over, tie my shoes with ease, use a smaller bath towel and have it wrap around me, sit in an airplane seat without the buckle being all the way extended, go sideways to fit around people and not worry about bumping in to them...I could go on and on. Wheels up - let's do this!

I wish I had read this yesterday! Congrats! I'm a week post op tomorrow and I'm surprised that the healing process is as good as it is! The first 3 days are not the funnest! Walk Walk Walk! I had gas pains in my left shoulder - cried over that. Was afraid I'd tear my stomach up by getting up and walking but WOW here I am today no tears and very little pain! You got this! Think positive thoughts! I keep fantasizing about shopping for new clothes and a new style! I can't wait to show up to work in a suit just to throw them off! Picking out those beautiful sweaters for winter here I come! I cleared my closet out so I gotta shop soon!
