I was going to thank everyone for the Immense support, but i realized that there was so much support it would take forever. you are all wonderful and i am truly lucky to have found you all. thank you thank you thank you.
I did not mean to seem like a show off. 
I just was SO EXCITED! i just could not help it.
as some of you said it really feels real now. to step on the scale and see NEW numbers. numbers i have not seen in years. it was just wonderful. and real. it feels real for the first time. even since the last pre op time i never had time to weigh myself on opti i just was to busy with dad i never botherd. but i know i did not feel like this. i did not feel smaller. i feel smaller (possibly an illusion brought on by the mind. but hey who knows?)
So yes. a few days to go. saturday, sunday, monday, then Tuesday morning. 6 am at the hospital. BOOM it is all over but the shouting. i will be at my mums this time next week. and in recovery.
anyway i go on and on. .thank you my dear friends.
I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!
