ok so i know its not really last minute yet, but i have 4 days until im surgi-fied. ive become very emotional about this, i feel like im saying goodbye to my best friend, my outter fat girl, ive blogged a little bit about it which i know getting out definitely helps me feel better to read what i wrote and see it more clearly. but i am also moving a week after my surgery so i know theres stress involved with that which im sure if attributing to my emotional mess. haha my toddler was looking at a picture of a cute little baby and was kissing it and telling the baby he loved her, and my husband got sad saying he could wait to have another kid and i flipped out wondering, should i go through with this? i want another baby too! lol.
but all came down and i came to my senses and i have already started preparing everything i may need after surgery. my mom is coming up to help out, i have most of the house packed, everything is set with work im taking off 4 weeks paid (is that enough?), i have had all my final appointments, everything, but i wanted to reach out
any last minute advice?
anything random you never thought about but realized after you can never eat again? (ive been having a hard time parting with food, i finally threw tons of stuff in the bin to give to some friends of ours) ive also been on the recipe forum making lists of recipes i think look good.
anything you felt that no one told you about? (weird pains, emotions, etc)
and just from a standpoint of moving, for an average woman, how much did you lose in the first month? i am curious as to what i should pack and what i shouldnt... and what clothes i can start giving away.
anyway so i just have a lot going through my mind and any last minute advice, words of wisdom, anything, i will appreciate.
thank you all for everything you guys have given me the past 6 months i have totally been inspired by so many of you and have really felt motivated to continue with this journey, when at times of dieting ive wanted to give up. since i only come on here at work, i know the next 2 days will be busy, so i may be able to post here and there, but if not, i will post when im officially on the other side.
thanks for everything!!!

i know how u feel we all go through all that.
1th u are not saying goodbye to ur best friend!!, ur saying goodbye to a descructive relationship. "cuz This best friend" is your worse enemy!! so don´t  mess up this things.

about you and ur husbadn wanting an other babye. this surgery will help u to get pregnet esy and keep a healthy pregnacy, you can go to the pregnacy forum there is a lof of women who wasn´t able to have babies before the surgery and now they are happy mom of healthy beautiful children .

and yes this journey is full of emotions and tears and laugh and everything u can imagin the honey moon is the best thing ever!!! but the real journey starts after the year. so be aware that now always is gonna be like the 1th couple of months out. this is very importatn to understand in order to succed, remeber is a tool and this works as good as u work it. 
ps. scales will be ur worse enemy be careful!!! hahaha.

oh yeah an don´t feel gulty when u eat is very comun this feeling as a newbie. now u need to eat to stay healthy! so make the right food choises. and u`ll lose all the weight.  and don´t compare ur self with othere people.

best of luck in ur day and wish u a speedy recovery
keep us posted
hugs

 Relax is the best advice I can give you.  Just take everything as it comes and don't worry about things that haven't happened.  


Best of luck to you!
