Spin of Yaya post....
congratulations on your approval.
We pre-ops must be on the same wavelength
, I decided to add my final profile update before surgery and after the update I somehow began to think about and then type out my thoughts regarding the spiritual aspect of this journey and how it is the most important aspect for me. Keep the spirit tight and all else will fall into place. It is very difficult for someone with a broken spirit to hide it. It will surface through actions and deed and show on ones face. Here is what I typed in my blog:"Everybody is not for you, you would think that with the commonality of obesity that there would be an unsaid kinship, but that isn't to be. The one thing that I will protect at all cost is my spirit. I've learned that in this world there are spirit lifters and spirit breakers. Spirit breakers are those whose own spirit is so broken that in order to try to repair the damage to themselves, they go after those whose spirit is intact. They want a peice of it in hopes of making themselves whole. They refuse to acknowledge that it will not fix them, but if the target of their wrath is not careful then they will find themselves in a similar or same situation of the attacker, so if there is any advise that I would offer fellow pre-ops and post ops alike, that would be to always
PROTECT your spirit. A broken spirit puts the soul out of sync with the body."Blessings to you as the new phase of your journey gets underway

You already got real good advice. I always read about how you people might treat you differently. Friends might turn into haters. I thought.....nah.....the handful of friends I told are my girls, they got my back.
I haven't seen one since I had surgery.....3 months ago! It has happened to me.
So prepare yourself for a possible fork in the road, there's many in life, I just didn't think this would be one.
