Aww Pauline, I love your story about your Dad saying that . I wish my Daddy would say stuff like that to me.

My dad is always nice to me, even more so since I transitioned! It made sense to him why I wouldn't engage in "manly" stuff.

P.S. Tik tok, your time is almost up Giselle.

I know, don't remind me lol. I'm getting freaked out more and more

Your big day is approaching Giselle, it will be all over before you know it, my Dad excepted more and more when he finally saw the girl I turned out to be, you must be very excited to finally be a complete woman.

The same here.  My parents became more accepting as they saw how much better my life was becoming.  Now, as surgery approaches, they've become my strongest supporters.

@ Giselle--You'll be fine.  Think positive thoughts.  We are all in good hands with Dr. B. and his staff.  Just think of all the things you'll be able to do without that bag of marbles down below

Amen sister! lol

My parents also have seen the good within since my transition! My proudest moments were when my parents were able to go longer then a week without saying my old name or using male pronouns, now it's like they erased the old name out of the equation.

Hmm no marbles don't there = A) Bikini, B) yoga pants without looking really weird down there, C) what is there not to do!!! ITS PURE FREEDOM yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yes congrats Miss Giselle, take comfort in knowing you are not alone in the freaking out dept. I'm freaking and i still got 4 months to go  but you'll get through it as many others have. Great things are yet to come for you.

My mother is surprisingly so supportive, I mean much more so then i though she would be.

edit: language

My mom is my biggest support system. I wouldn't even be having surgery if it wasn't for her. My dad on the other hand is a deadbeat, I sent him the nastiest letter in the mail 2 months ago. I really regret sending it now, I really would like if he could accept me, but I'm just not sure.

OH and THANK YOU to you girls . I know Dr. B is an amazing doctor, I'm more excited about eating fast food FINALLY LOL . I had to stop for surgery and lose a lil bit of weight, but I'm going right back right after LOL.

Do you know if they allow you to eat after surgery? I'm gonna be so hungry, I was gonna ask my sister to sneak Mcdonalds in. I was gonna on the sly lol eat it.

Understood, you're still young, but no more McD's after 30!!!     Otherwise you may end up looking like this...FWIW my intent was not to offend anyone, but you have to admit this is pretty funny

Can anyone say super size?  Did I say that out loud.

MCD's at any age is bad, have you ever by accident a set of fries to rot? It doesn't exactly rot, it turns into cardboard!!

That's just so gross. McDonald's always makes me feel sick anyway, never liked it. BTW Giselle I'm freaking to so we can freak together, lol. Na, really chilled at the moment and excited. Ask me again the morning of my op, lol.

Yes!  And let's not forget about all that sodium.  Can you say cankles?

McD's is gross. Now burger king, a veggie whopper with cheese and no sauces, YUM!!  Good thing I can only afford to do that every month or 2. Fast food fries aren't fries, they are reconstituted cardboard as someone mentioned, so I skip those.

OH GOD .

I think I'm gonna stick to my veggie burgers instead

I also find it funny when people order ''McD's'' and super-size it and then order a diet soda .

Yay girl =) I can imagine crying for sure. I'm still a ways away longer than you so I'm trying not to get too excited....trying to just live each day that I can haha.

It's going to get harder as time draws nearer though =)

Hi Jerica

Your surgery ticker tape indicates it will be in February,  that's a very good month to have it!  Just like mine.

Take care everyone and enjoy your special day like I did mine.  I still have vivid memories to this day.

Kind regards
Sarah B
