First Vlog – Pre-op Diet Day 5

2 Comments

Don’t you just hate capture screens? I do, they selectively pick the face that’s the most ridiculous. Tomorrow is surgery day. I’m excited and anxious, I really thought that I’d be more nervous, but I’m trying to keep busy. I’m going to spend the rest of my night watching comedy shows until I fall asleep, I want to go into surgery with a positive mind and a calm heart. I’m glad to say I survived the pre-op diet and my surgery is tomorrow at 10:30 am. Thank you to everyone for their support and kind words, especially my Surgery Sisters. I m so happy to share this experience with all of you!  I’ll post videos and pics to my Facebook page I don’t think you have to like to see them so please feel free to stop by.

Take Care!

The New Normal

I’ve been really emotional this week, pms doesn’t help but everything is moving so fast and surgery day will be here before I know it.

Anywho, I had a conversation last night where Great America the amusement park came up and I said it had been a really long time since I’d been and in remembering the last time that I’d been there, I was with two of my best friends and had some of the most humiliating experiences of my life. I had to be asked off of several rides because the bar wouldn’t fit down over my stomach. Until the point came where I just stopped trying. That was over 5 years ago and I know that I’m even larger now……I want to be able to go to Great America and ride very single ride I want to… and then it got me to thinking of all the things that I’ve avoided for all these years…normal things.  

Normal…..that seems soo funny to use that word because I have this feeling in my gut.  I’ve lived this wonderful life, I mean really wonderful, my normal life and yet somehow I know there is more. I know it will never be perfect but I know there’s more waiting for me and more that I’ve yet to do, I don’t exactly have a clear picture just yet of what that vision is,  but I know that the woman that’s gonna help me get there is in me and God knows that I can’t wait to meet her and set her free!
