Surgery:

[_Kate_ 2,224]

Is tomorrow and I'm actually nervous.

It's my birthday today and 8 friends from work took me out for lunch, they ate and I had my Protein Drink and it really hit me how things are going to change. I am so glad of that change for the future and my birthday next year will be different, however today I felt emotional and I ended up crying at work over little work related stuff but I am sure it was more than that...... I haven't been hungry whilst on the pre op diet (i am on day 17) but I have missed chewing and I would love my mouth to taste of more than the bottom of a sewer. So bring on the Soup and yogurt in week two!!

I am excited by the change I am about to go through tomorrow and I don't give a rats ass if it's painful, difficult, downright nasty... I can see the bigger picture and I will remain positive about that. I strongly believe that positive thoughts bring positive change. I won't be a Debbie Downer and if I start whinging you have permission to point me back to this post My focus is on good health and all it will bring.

I will be successful, I will have the life I want and need and this lifetime change will be so worth it.

Prayers will help too, so please feel free to if you are so inclined. If not please cross your fingers and wish me well.

Thanks to all for being so supportive and good luck to those starting their journey this week

You certainly seem to be in the right place as far as your head goes.

You're about to do the best and most important thing you've ever done.

I'm so thrilled for you, Kate! It's finally your day! And your birthday happening too is so appropriate. This is the start of a brand new life and you truly deserve it!

It's perfectly normal to be a little emotional, but keep that goal of a healthy happy life in sight, as I know you're already doing. You've got this!

You've worked hard to get here. So go forth and be sleeved my friend. We'll be waiting here for you when you get back. My thoughts and prayers will be with you!

Hugs and best wishes!!'

You be safe, Kate. Get some rest tonight.

And yep, mine is next week. We can compare war wounds. ????

It's so normal to be nervous and emotional. Any life changing event is emotional.

Yeah, it's a change. But for the better! In just a matter of time, you will be having lunch with your coworkers thinner, more confident, and you'll have leftovers to take home to boot!

Good luck tomorrow and keep us posted!

????????Happy Birthday ????????

How fitting you are starting a new YOU journey as your life turns a new year.

Being positive is a huge part of anything you undergo in life.

Prayers are right beside being positive!!!!

So get some rest and take that one last old you picture tonight!!!! We want to hear from you soon.

Prayer:

Lord I come to you asking for comfort & healing for ukkatruk I pray you give the surgical team rest tonight and ready to embark on this journey. Lord you give us bodies that we are to treat as temples and we all ask for forgiveness for failing you in this. So with your powers help us as we take this huge step in correcting this. Lord help us make wise healthy choices for this point on. We don't deserve the love & forgiveness you give us. So thank you again for your miracles. We ask these things in your precious name...Amen
