NERVOUS!!!
You can do this! My surgery is on the 15th. I am in my 50's also and I am tired of the yo-yo dieting. This surgery can help us make the next 30 years Awesome! Hang in there and keep yourself busy till Monday. I went shopping yesterday for all the necessities, ie, dog food/cat food, toilet paper, milk, etc. & for Christmas presents so I won't be worrying about that while I am recuperating. I will be praying for you Karen!
Woo! You can do it! I wish you swift healing with lots of sipping and walking.

You're doing a wonderful thing for yourself! As someone who was in the same boat almost a year ago (50's, similar starting and goal weights, sick of yo-yo dieting), I can tell you that this is an amazing process and you will be so glad you did it. I would echo Gwen's advice about walking and sipping, and add that you should try to get in a mindset of strong, steady patience and resolve, because this takes a while - it's not all over after a few months. We're in this for the long haul! I'll be thinking of you on Monday and wishing you a speedy recovery. You can do this!!
