I went to my pre-op appointment today! I am down 12 pounds in the past 2 weeks having put myself on a pre op liquid diet to get weened off caffeine and sugar so my post op wouldn't be such a shock to my system. It all feels like a dream! As I got dressed today and looked at myself in the mirror, I said 'this will be the last week that you have to be this weight and size!' I will not miss this body that I have carried around for too long. I will not miss wearing these clothes that have become more camouflage than fashion. I will not miss the 'shapewear' that I put on underneath hoping to minimize a bulge or two. (or three) I will not miss being invisible to others. I will not miss this exterior that has become a hindrance to my happiness, progress and success! I look forward shedding this physical weight so I can become the vibrant, energetic and happy person I am meant to be!!!!!!!
