7 Days Until Surgery ...

By CVWillis

· 525 views

I'm scared for soooo many different reasons. Here's what I am thinking ....

 

1. I've gained 8 pounds since my initial appointment (9/7/11) and I have my pre-op appointment on Friday (1/6/2011).

2. This 2 week low carb/protein diet is a little challenging.But I think it has helped me lose 2 of the 8 pounds I've gained. I know I gained the weight due to me having to take depo shots.

3. I need to lose 6lbs in 2 days ... who does that????

4. My co-workers don't know what type of surgery I am having so, when I go back to work how many pounds lighter what am I going to say?????

5. Where am I going to get $$$ for new clothes???

6. Will this REALLY work???

7. I REALLY want some cookies ... lol!!!!

8. Who will I be after I lose weight?????

9. I feel like I am mourning the lost of food ... Isn't that crazy??? I was looking at a Red Lobster commercial thinking "I'll never be able to eat there again!!" And I don't even eat at Red Lobster!

10. Typing Red Lobster makes me want sushi ... lol!!!

 

Luckily, I have GREAT support from my family and friends! I love them dearly!

    Hi, You are not alone. I started my pre-op diet today and I am doing ok with it but what I wouldn't do for a chili dog right now...lol

    I pray things work out well for you. I am just the opposite I don't care who knows I am doing it for health reasons.

    Good luck to, I pray things go well.
