School Starts Tomorrow

Hi everyone! I start the spring semester at the local junior college tomorrow. It'll be my first official outing since my surgery. I'm kinda nervous. I haven't told anyone but close family and few friends (practically noone) about the surgery and I've lost 34 pounds already. LOL My dad says people can really tell already, so I'm kinda nervous about the whole meeting people and having the small chit chat. Just wanted to voice some concerns on this board since you all rock! Have a great Tuesday! *~*Jaci*~*

Jaci, You're doing great! Keep up the good work. My outlook on life is this ...do what you want for yourself, not to please everyone else. You have no one to answer to but yourself, so it's your opinion that matters, so don't worry about the small chit chat. Just be yourself and they'll love ya Nicole

Hey Jaci, I know the same feeling cause I'll be having my surgery next Friday and I go back to school on Feb 14th. I just hope I am not too sore to fit in the desks but then again I wasn't able to fit in alot of them as it were so I usually take a regular chair and flip a desk around to make my own..most are used to me doing that so I don't get stares anymore like I used to. Just take it nice and slow, get their early so you are not rushed. I used to go to the college you are talking about since I live in A****er area. Just be careful around the crowds that they dont knock into your stomach or anything like that. I'm sure you'll do fine and be able to strike up a conversation there. Is this your first semester at MC? I wish you all the best. I don't know if you received my email but I remember you and your sister from LUSD. Anywho, I wish you all the best with school and your weight loss. Kelli
