Tomorrow (Thurs. May 27th) is my BIG DAY!!!

I don't feel nervous or anything.  And THAT's starting to bother me. lol  I'm basically on this road alone except for one supportive person.  Otherwise, family and friends don't have any idea that I'm having this procedure.  They know I'm having surgery, but since I've continually had health issues they think it's just another operation that I have to undertake.  Why haven't I told them?  The same reason that I haven't told anyone - the lack of support!  Their mindset is if you have to have "that kind of surgery" you're weak and have no willpower to do it on your own.  So, I'm like "to hell with them!"  I know what's best for me.  Sooooo, I'm doing this on my own. I'm actually in a good place with this.  I know it's going to be hard, but that's okay because I AM READY!   Wish me luck!!

Special Blessing to you for every and as well on your journey to healthy life.

From One Sister to Another: I had RNY on the same day. I only told my husband, son and 2 friends. I didn't want any negative vibes either. I told everyone else I was leaving town (it was in a different city). Our folks can be especially negative about this. Even my minister made critical statements about the surgery one Sunday. She is overweight and was probably talking herself out of doing it!  I believe that is is a gift from God and an answer to many prayers. It's a tool, not an easy way out. We still have to work hard, excercise and follow our food plans. Anyway, I'm really happy that I made the decision. I'm looking forward to a lighter life. I'll eventually tell everyone when they get a chance to see that I am healthier than before. I feel great. Hope all is well with you.
