My last Opti!
Up until now I have been okay emotionally and deep down know that everything will be fine but tonight it i****ting me. I must admit I am freaking out a little bit. It's the what ifs. I just want tomorrow to get here, have my surgery and then wake up, know that I've made it through and then to be able to call my kids.
I know that so many people have been here and it's normal to feel this way and that I will do great!
I am also really looking forward to being able to eat my meals again, even if it is only limited. I am really craving cottage cheese and already bought a container!!
Congrats on making it through the Opti phase! Next step surgery!!!!!

Best of luck, deep breath and you'll be back on here in no time at all!
