First Pre-Op class

I had my first pre-op weight management class this past Saturday. It was a lot simpler than I had expected it to be. Which was good. Only 2 more meetings until we can send the paper work off.

Also, before that class I had a huge scare. I thought I had messed up the meetings and pushed back my surgery 2 months which would have completely ruined everything since I'm a college student. I would have had to chose between surgery and school. There are no words to described how devastated and crushed I was. I don't think anyone could have possibly understand what that hour or so felt like... I wish I knew someone who could though. I wish I knew someone who could understand what I feel and go through on a daily basis.

First Post

I created this blog because I have started my journey of having weight loss surgery. I couple weeks ago I went to my first consultation appointment and have all the steps laid out to what I need to do before I have the surgery. So I'm looking at my surgery date being hopefully sometime in the first half of July. In order to be prepared for surgery and what comes after it I'm going to go ahead and try to start dieting some to get myself used to saying goodbye to certain foods. It's going to be difficult, especially these next two weeks until the semester is over. My main goal is to just write about the day to day struggles and accomplishments. Also, related to the title of the blog, I want to just kind of put the things I want to do and new things I experience that I've waited 21 one years to do or even have the right to dream of doing.
