Sooo I just picked up my medications and am trying to relax, but I am SO anxious. These past two weeks have been such a roller coaster! As of this morning I've lost 14 lbs. from the liquid diet. Looking forward to that stage being over, but I made it. It's been so difficult to make the decision of who to tell, did ya'll make it public knowledge or keep it more private? I've told my parents, fiancé and best friend. I'm just going to leave everyone else guessing, I just don't think it's fair to myself to have to share my most personal struggles. Gotta admit though, feels weird going into surgery. I've calmed my "are you crazy for subjecting yourself to all of this electively?!" thoughts by reminding myself that this is not in fact elective. I'm so grateful for this forum!!!!

First off CONGRATS! Tomorrow is the big day, I'm so excited for you! Second, I'm having the same struggle with who to tell etc. In the end I told the people closest to me and in hopes others will see my outward change and the ones around me can be exposed to the rest! haha. Best wishes to you, let us know how everything goes!!
