Two More Days.... :)

I am only two days away from having my surgery and I am finally getting excited! After dealing with this grueling liquid diet for the past two weeks and the months of preparation I am so ready to have my surgery. I am down fifty pounds now from where I started and I already feel so much better so I am looking forward to shedding the rest of this weight. I think it's so weird but I have already noticed a difference socially to as well. For example I work in a prison and people will actually come ask me questions and look me in the eye. I have also noticed that I feel more comfortable around people and actually want to be more social. For the longest time I felt like I had lost who I was somewhere in the chaos of being a mom, a full time student, and a full time employee, however I feel like I am slowly gaining back a part of me that I have missed for so long-The Happy Part. Thank you all for being a great support system and allowing me the blessing of seeing your encouraging progress can't wait to share mine!

    You've done a great job so far, congratulations! You will definitely see a difference socially. A lot of it is other people really "seeing" you and it's also you feeling better, happier, and more confident, and that shines through as well. It will only get better and better for you! Good luck with your surgery, and keep us posted!

    Best wishes for you this week! Glad you are feeling a little excited. I am neither excited nor nervous (surgery 12/2) just committed to the fact of it. Maybe those feelings will come as I get closer. Can't really afford nerves, etc. right now anyway so I guess thats ok.

    Looking forward to hearing from you on the other side.

    Good luck on the surgery! And I know exactly how you feel about the social differences when we lose or at least start to lose the excess weight. I blogged on here about feeling invisible at 386, no one talked to me in the elevators or on the street. Now, with most of the weight gone, people talk to me. So excited for you and can't wait to watch your progress and success here.
