Amytugs sleevy thread! Leavin 3/1!

[scsleever 104]

Me too! 2 days til I leave bit 3 until I'm sleeved.

Starting to get cold feet (ish) again though. I'm going but lord carry me because I'm getting scared. I want to mother my children ASAP. I don't want to be in the hospital for a long period of time or anything along those lines. I want to get sleeved, come home and be hunky dory.

I know EXACTLY how you are feeling.. I appeared calm, but I was freaking out inside. .I survived the three days before my flight by just putting one foot in front of the other. It was pretty surreal, but that's what I had to do to keep moving forward..also kept reminding myself what my future would be if I backed out. You are almost at the finish line..hang in there!

I'm doing the exact same thing, thanks for reassuring me! Surreal is the word in keep using. I can't imagine driving myself 35 miles away to the airport on Friday. An airport for the first time. I might pinch myself!!

It's a big fat dream come true is what it is. I've been so miserable for so long. I'm going to start crying just thinking about it. My weight and never finding clothes that fit, never letting my husband see me naked, my cottage cheese thighs that start fires from rubbing, the way my head looks so tiny compared to my hips and butt. My lack of energy, LOW self esteem. Not wanting to go to school stuff for the kids, or anywhere, because I'd just rather stay at home and hide in my pajamas. I'm over this life no really am. I can't into nice living this way. I've been given this opportunity and I'm going to run with it.

Getting on my big girl panties.......

I'm going to miss my family. I tear up when I think about it. I know it's only 6 days but I've never even left them overnight. :*(

Just think of what could happen if u didn't have this surgery trying to get healthy. 6 days is nothing compared to an unhealthy future.

Good way to look at it

Wow it's kind of funny how I don't even see us as fat while read most posts. I just fall in love with all the sleevers and there stories. Then when somebody posts a description of themselves and facts about their life and it is the exact description of your life and feeling it kind of slaps u in the face and reminds u that we r all big girls or guys(Pre sleevers) on VST. . To bad real life can't see us like we see each other on VST(Just see the person not the body).

GOOD LUCK AMY! I know you will be super busy doing all those little last minute things moms and wives do before leaving the family to fend for themselves for a few days so want to make sure to send you a big hug and well wishes for the coming week. Cant wait to read your update posts during the next few days. Youve wormed your way into our hearts as youve questioned, agonized, researched, ditched the idea and then finally decided to go for it! I know i speak for your entire vst family when i say, please have a safe, swift trip, an uneventful surgery and know we all have you in our thoughts and prayers. Best wishes!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You have got this girl, the best thing you could ever do for yourself and family. I felt just like you about leaving the house to go anywhere. I still dont go anywhere now, I guess not ready yet. I wish you the best and also a speedy recovery.

[amytug 996]

Thanks for all the support and prayers, friends. This is so real now! Exciting!

I will not get lost at an airport.

How I wish I didn't have a 3 1/2 hour layover. Sigh.

Still worth it.
