IT is going to be nice to have some time off before your surgery so you can relax a bit and get all your ducks in order before your surgery!

This is an emotional time in your life really....it is a major decision and life altering to have wls. If you were not emotional about it, we would kind of wonder if you were okay.

I remember the day of my surgery, I stood outside the operating room outter doors crying because I knew my life would never be the same as I knew it especially with my relationship with food. I think my mind went at turbo speed at all the foods that I would be giving up. I thought honestly life would be over....how silly eh?

Life has only continued to get better and even though I have hit some rough patches along the way...I do not attribute it to wls.....I attribute it to growing and discovering...and what I will and will not allow in my life...Ithink it is called getting real with myself!

You're going to do fine and you will be so happy that you made the decision to get healthy!!!

Have a great day!
