Got my surgery...
Well **** just got real! I've been moving thru the program for about 6 months now and in a few weeks I'm in for the sleeve.
I'll be honest, Its a little scary right now. I've got my family 100% behind this and have the support structure in place (food, materials, scales, etc). But the reality of the change has me nervous.
You're having major surgery! It's totally normal to be scared and nervous right now! But things will be okay and your new life will rock :)

You've got this! I was a little anxious leading up to surgery - I kept wondering if I was being dramatic or irrational (or 300 other things). I have had moments where I've thought "what the heck did I sign up for?" but I have to tell you, it has been worth EVERY BIT of food sacrificed, every awkward conversation, every pain to get to where I am now, and to know where I can go tomorrow if I stick with it!
