Hi everyone. 4 days left for surgery. I am really, really nervous. I am sure most of you know how I feel. My family is usually happy for me, were excited when I got my approval, were excited when I got my date, but now that I'm only 4 days away, they want me to back out of it. My mom cried so much today. I couldn't believe that she was hiding it all in. She said that she's afraid that I won't be the same 'ol Sam that's always joking around and always looking for something to eat. Then I started crying because I was too trapping my tears all in and then my sister saw us both crying and she started crying too, then my other sis from TN came down and saw us crying, asked why we're crying and my mom was still crying and said "I'm telling her to back out while she can..I'm scared for her..Norma please tell her something!!" I felt so bad. I had no idea my mom was this scared for me. She has been extra nice to me since "that day." She is even gonna make me one of my favorite homemade dishes tomorrow for one of my last "pre-op meals. I told her that I am scared too but something in my heart tells me to do it. I have faith in God that I will be fine. In my WLS book (Finding the Thin Person Inside of You by Barbara Thompson) has a section in the end of the book for "significant others." This is really helpful when you are going through what I'm going through now. After about a half an hour of crying, I thought about my book and handed it to them and it quieted everybody down about me except now they were fighting over who was gonna read it next. 4 days and I will join all you losers at the other side.Thank you all for your undying support for me. *HUGS TO ALL*
