Can't nobody hold me down

I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I have (looking at my calendar) 40 days until my surgery. As everyday passes, I get even more excited.

My momma asked how I could be so excited about having my stomach cut off. (She is very supported in my decision, she doesn't like surgery). I tell her because I have a fresh start on the horizon. I will be on my journey to no longer being the "woman with the pretty face" or the "fat friend". I will one day be the same size. I will be so happy when I will be able to slide into a booth without having to move the table or being uncomfortable.

I have been so fortunate with all the love and support I receive from everyone. Believe me, I tell everyone. Nobody has said anything negative. I made a joke about "taking the easy way out" and two people yelled at me and said what I was doing was not "easy". That made me smile.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day and THANK YOU for letting me share my excitement!!!!!:biggrin0:

I felt exactly the same way prior to my surgery. It is very exciting. But, it will be here before you know and you will be off to a new life. Best of luck.

Wishing you all the best!! I am on the second day of my liquid diet and I can tell you for awhile there I was considering not doing this.... It has been a little rough. However, I realized there are people that do this...they are on this forum and they will be there to cheer you and me on!! It is really great to have the support here. Hang in there and I look forward to the same happy things you are! : )

You're on your way! 40 days will go fast. It's the last two weeks of the pre-op diet that seems to drag on forever. I'm 5 days from surgery and just now starting to relax and realize this is really going to happen. Good luck!
