It's getting real…

It is now less than three weeks before my gastric bypass surgery and the reality of it is finally hitting me

This really is the bravest act I've seen in a long time. Give the word and we'll all come running.

Hey, Alana! I'm guessing a lot of thought and contemplation went into your decision to have surgery. It's definitely not something one goes into lightly. If you're doing it for you then you've chosen carefully. As long as you understand and are prepared for the medical/physical changes, you should be just fine with the other stuff. If you think about it, over time our personalities and self perceptions and the perceptions of others change....just too gradually to always notice. It is kinda like subtle versions...1.05, 1.2, 1.21, 1.5, etc. That's my experience of life...yes I've very fundamentally the same as I was 20 years ago, but I am also fundamentally very different in certain ways thanks to lots of intervening years of experiences. I think the thing to be aware of is that certain things will proceed a bit faster, and that can feel shocking
