THIS IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So... tomorrow is the day. I'm on my last day of Optifast. 3 more shakes to get down and then I'm finally done lol I am down 19 pounds... and that makes me happy.
The kids are off to their dads tonight for the week... their bags are packed and ready to go... I shed some tears this morning when I walked them to school... its hard to say goodbye.... but they are being so strong and supportive. My daughter gave me one of her teddies to take to the hospital with me so I can have someone to hug.
I talked to my Mother last night (adopted mom) and had a good cry... i seem to be super emotional. My mom (birth mom) is coming up tonight to stay with me, and my husband took the week off to be with me. We will be at the hospital at 8:30am. Surgery at 10:30.
My mother asked me what worries me the most, and I don't know... the whole situation I guess. I'm scared. I'm scared of the pain... I'm scared of complications... I'm scared of the healing process.
But I am not scared about the outcome. I have never been more ready or determined to succeed at anything in my life. This is life changing ... and that's what I want it to be. I'm soo freaking excited to get on the bench!!!
See y'all on the flip side

Don't be scared...everything will be fine.
Don't be scared of the pain...they have drugs for that.
Don't be scared of the complications...just follow the instructions by your doctors and the clinic.
Don't be scared of the healing process...again follow the rules provided to you by the doctor and the clinic and you will be fine.
Its when we don't do as we are told we should be scared and you are a very smart woman and I can't see you not listening to what you have been told to do or not to do on this journey we have decided to talk.
See you on the bench tomorrow...I have moved over to make room for you.
Hoping for a speedy recovery for you

Good luck. I too have the same fears. I have been waiting for this for 12 years, and the reality of it finally getting done is scaring the s%&$ out of me. I keep talking myself out of it, and my family keep saying you have worked so hard to get here, and you need it to stay alive. Great support group. I find out this week my date, I have already told them end of August as my wife and I want to spen our anniversary together somewhere and not the hospital.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Good luck girl!! Wishing you a speed recovery :)

Being nervous and emotional is totally normal. Just take deep breaths and it will be over and you will be on the bench before you know it.
I wish you an uncomplicated surgery and a speedy recovery. You will be fine - just relax and get ready to enjoy the ride. I look forward to hearing about your successful journey.
Hugs.

I second what Moselle said. Being emotional is perfectly normal. This is a big change in your life, and change is emotional - but it's also exciting, exhilerating and totally energizing. Remember to take big breaths, smile, and enjoy the process!
