I found this on itunes first and now have been reading the forum. I can't explain how helpful this has been to me. I've only been reading it today, and it has really helped me.
Things I'm learning:
Don't judge me...or do. I don't care!! I need to do this for me, not for anyone else.
I have absolutely no idea what to expect with this surgery. There could be complications. There could be slow weight loss. I could hate every minute of the beginning year. I could do spectacular. I might have to have plastic surgery. I may not. I may have some excess skin. I may not. I may never be able to eat sugar again. I may. Only God knows all of what is in store for me here.
I will still be me. I may look different, but I will still be me. I may be more outgoing, but my insecurities of today may still be there. I may be more athletic, but it still may be uncomfortable.
