I feel like everything is within my grasp right now, but somehow I am going to screw it up. I am thankful for being in a good place in my life, but I wish I could not overthink and learn to be really thankful for all I have. It is such a hard process to go through this whole "WLS" thing, and I don't have surgery until next month. I have never fought with my significant other so much in my life. I didn't realize how much it would freak him out. He is one of the most supportive loving people in the world, and then he thinks "oh shit, she's going to be skinny...what if she changes!" I get that it is a real concern for the people who are going through this with me. I am doing this for myself, and my health so him and I will have longer together and we can reach our dreams together. Your updates from the last few days have made me think. And I pray everyday, we get through this. This is harder then death, buying houses, running a business, and most other "life" things. But at the end of the day I have to remember to be thankful and give praise to God that I am here, and have so much that is great in my life.

It is my very personal opinion that EVERYONE (you & your S. O. ) has to be aboard and rowing in sync or you will surely sink. I know that my experience has been extreme, but PLEASE, try and try and then try some more to get on similar mindset BEFORE your surgery. I strongly believe that a WLS candidate should not only have an one on one therapy sessions before being approved, but their SO should have the opportunity to have a sit down with a therapist also one on one. WLS changes not only your life, but theirs' as well. Just think about it, please.
