I cannot say how I feel because one minute I am so hungry ( a week of liquids... is TOO LONG BEFORE SURGERY NEVERMIND TWO!!!!) lol sorry.. got distracted! LOL for real tho, I am super excited about this surgery. I cannot wait to start this journey. I am ready and I am focused and I am determined. I want to have a before and after picture that makes me say WOW like those on this webpage do now. I have to say that I have waited far too long for this! I cannot wait to put my tap shoes back on. I want to ride the rides at Disney and I want to get in and out of a kayak with my husband on the lake. I want to rollerblade and I want to do ANYTHING without worrying. I want to fly comfortably I want to dine out without the worry of whether or not I will fit in the booth. oh wow... I cannot wait!!! I cannot wait!!!

so, I feel like a nerd and a bit obsessed because I cannot stop thinking about my surgery and reading about other's who have gone before me. I spend hours each day online reading testimonials, journals, blogs and websites telling the success stories of people who have done this.
I have 15 days until surgery and I am so excited.I cannot really put in words how I feel (I am sure many of u already know!!!) It isn't always easy because my Mom thinks I am stupid to risk dying by having the surgery...hello! I risk dying everyday by weighing more than I should... doubled!  Yeah pretty much I am lucky to be alive and well being that I weigh close to 400 pounds.
I took pleanty of pictures thru Christmas and New Years because by this time next year I hope to be under 250 lbs (that would be 130 lbs in a year...) I keep telling myself my entire life has changed starting today when I went on the pre op diet! I am so excited to begin this journey. The only thing making me nervous is that I am not really nervous! LOL
I am just so happy. It has been a long time coming and I feel blessed to have found a phenomenal surgeon who has made this process quite simple actually! I love his office staff and the nutritionist is AWESOME! I cannot wait to meet with her again.
I dont know what else to say other than I welcome any comments, friends, feedback and emotional support...
