Surgery in two more days!!!

I can't believe it's almost here. These last two weeks have somewhat dragged....opti hasn't been easy for me! After a few days, which physically is the hardest, you do feel full, its dealing with the mental side of things. Opti doesn't taste bad for those who haven't gone through it yet.

I'm very excited about starting my journey, being on the other side (being post-op). This journey has felt long and short at times. As much as I disliked this process at times, I'm glad it was in place. Not sure if it wasn't for the time to go through the process, and really be sure this was right for me, that I would have been successful losing weight beforehand, and especially the opti phase. The doubts I was having, if this had been a quick process, I'm not sure if I would have made it through. I had doubts throughout the process mostly the beginning, but I educated myself, and with the help and support of the people at my site, and this wonderful forum, it made me feel peaceful about my decision to do this.

Yes, I started having doubts the first few days of opti, losing my food for comfort, but being on this website and people saying that was their experience too was really helpful to me... you have no idea!!!!!

To everyone whose answered my questions, and supported me THANK YOU!!! It has meant a lot to me. I think I would have been floundering if it wasn't for this forum. You can research all you want, but doesn't take the place for people's real experiences (good and bad), and their wisdom as they have been through it.

Leaving for Guelph tomorrow to stay over the night before. I hope the weather cooperates! Don't think I'll be sleeping much Tuesday night. Can't wait for Wednesday, and then can't wait to get home!

Again, I thank you all, you've really helped me, and keep me sane at times lol

You are going to do Great. I will be thinking of you. Safe travels

I thought I was 'liking' your comment, and accidently like my own comment. I'm not that conceited lol

Manda it's hard to believe only a few months ago we were struggling with the process, and now your time is here!!! Best of luck...you will do great...and update as soon as you're feeling up to it.
