ARRGGHHHH..... The nerves have set in...HELP!

Hi Kathy,

That is a great idea...accountability. I am going to think about that. I have already taken some before picks. At my heaviest and before opti. I intend to do one morning of surgery and then see how it goes. I dont know If I am ready to share with the world but it is a great idea.

Thanks for the encouragement and tips.

Get your hair cut, get a wax, paint your nails.

Pamper yourself, pamper your hubby.

Relax, post.

Start a journal - focus on reasons to move forward, create some short term goals and some long term ones too.

Look forward to seeing you on the losers bench!

You are absoloutley right! I have focused a bit more on me the past few days and will go to the spa tomorrow (day before surgery).

I am so lloking forward to be on the loosers bench with you guys. Although I am already there. 60lbs gone since Jan 1 2017!

So I had all of the aforementioned fears and more. My surgeon/surgery was scheduled 2 hours from home so my husband and I stayed with a friend in Nashville. She planned an evening out at a popular restaurant (mind you the night before surgery) which turned out to be just exactly what I needed! You have to try to distract your mind especially the night before when you can only have clear liquids up until midnight. It helped me so much to be amongst friends. Wishing you continued success!

Hi Taylor,

I have planned a pamper day for tomorrow so all is well. Today has been last minute cleaning and laundry.

I dont know if I am up for the comany kind of feeling reflective. But not going to say no tot he pamperming.
