Feeling extremely emotional this month

Thanks lady!  It is an exciting time, and yes a nervous and anxious time as well.  I feel like I am on the threshold of a new life, and I know that it is really the truth.  I am!  I am looking forward to all those things you mentioned for yourself (except for the karate...BTW, what style do you take?)   I want to country line dance, take a ballet class, and do yoga again.  Saying good bye to the food is a part of it, but also seeing myself down the line, having a different life than the obese one I have led for so long is the other emotional part of this whole equation.  It's like - WOW! 

Good luck getting your appt and the endoscopy done.  I'll be waiting for you on the loser's bench when it's your turn.

Hi Cara! I must say, that I felt the same way as you and everyone else who has already posted. I was scared to fail, but at the same time, I was scared to succeed and still be unhappy. I was excited and nervous and sad and mad and every other emotion under the sun all rolled up into one! It was definitely a mixture and I was confused and all over the place for at LEAST a month before surgery - but I have to say that the day of my surgery I felt that I was at the exact right place at the exact right time. I was at peace with my decision and I had no mixed emotions. Everything worked itself out.

You will be fine!

Thanks Dear!  I know that I have made the right decision to go forward with the surgery.  I had looked into it proabably 4 years ago and decided it was not for me.  But here I stand, 4 years later, and this time I KNOW in my heart this is the right thing.  I'm just ready to get on with it.  It feels like it's taken me FOREVER to get here, and now I can hardly believe I have made it. 

I feel like my head is on pretty straight here, but my emotions are just right at the surface.  From everyone's replies, I am not alone in this, and that in itself helps me to feel better, albeit even more emotional.

I appreciate all the insight and virtual e-huggs!

Thanks for traveling along with me.   Gotta say, for once, it's good to be me!
