Welp, I feel like a div because I posted the following on
@Maria61 's thread simply because I saw a 19 in the title! Oops!
So this time next week I will either be on the table or (hopefully) in recovery. That's such a strange thought. I'm doing alright on the milk diet, so no problems there. I've pretty much gotten everything together and wrapped up at work now and I'm looking forward to my mom and sister arriving on Monday. The next few days are going to absolutely fly by.
Richie is, however, starting to show signs of uncertainty over what's to come. He's obviously worried about the surgery itself, but he says that it's the unknown afterwards that bothers him and has said that he is scared that this is going to really change me beyond the weight. I don't know how to respond to this apart from try to reassure him. I know for a lot of people that are my size they tend to hide away from the world in many ways, but I've never let my weight hold me back in that respect so I can't imagine that changing too much. When I try to find out exactly what's bothering him, he can't really seem to put his finger on it.
