This is really happening!

It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride. Started the process in February and  had finished all the pre-op appointments in September, and then had to wait until November to see the surgeon to get a date. And then that date was rescheduled to January with the possibility of a March or April surgery date.  So I was very excited to have the opportunity to go to a different centre for the surgery.  My surgery is booked for next Thursday,  I start Optifast on Thursday, and I confirmed the pre-op appointment for Monday.  It's starting to feel real.

Finally!  Congratulations.  You have a great running start.  Welcome to the ride ;)

SO SO SO SO happy for you!  It will be here before you know it.  

You are going to do so well!  I'm super excited for you that it's finally here.  I know you can do this!

Yay!!!! Exciting news!

You're going to do awesome!

Congratulations, Daizymom!

Surgery next Thursday, wow!  So only 1 week of Opti; lucky you!!

The next week is going to go by so quickly; you'll soon be on the losers bench.  I'll be flying back to the Sault from my pre-surgery appt. in Toronto on the day you have surgery. I'll think of you!

Take care,

Kathy

Likewise Kathy!!

not sure how I only have 1 week but I will take it. 

How exciting for you! It seems like it takes FOREVER to finally get the date... THEN FOREVER that you wait until that day... then BAM, it's almost 8 months later and your life is changing every day!

So excited for you!!!

Thank you PammieAnne! You and all the menu crew inspire me every day to believe that I can do this and not to settle for anything less than getting to where I want to be. I'm usually okay in the self image department- But we were watching home videos the other day and I felt so gross about how I look. I am glad I've never been one to hide from the camera, but I want to be happy with myself.
