Overwhelmed

I am new to all this....even blogging.

 

My husband and I are scheduled for surgery on August 5th. All of our pre op testing is complete. We have met all requirements and are approved. Yipee!! :rolleyes:

 

I have been so focused on this surgery and all it entails that I think of nothing else. I dream about protein and vitamins and hydration. My husband has been wonderful and he is a very good planner making sure we have everything we need. He is always like this. I am grateful for that because I am a last minute person and would be out the night before surgery searching for something.

I feel like this is all that is going on in my life. I think so much about food and eating that I don't even want to eat.......I am hoping our vacation will give me a chance to focus on something else. :(

 

I am glad I found this website. I am learning a lot of things both good and bad. I enjoy reading about everyone's triumphs and struggles. It is good to have someone to talk to.....

 

Thanks for listening.

I am so happy for both of you. I wish you both the best. It is great to have each other to support the other. I didn't open the conversation up to my fiace about WLS until after I scheduled my procedure date. Not thinking he would support it. But, he has been so helpful and trying to understand the process completely each step of the way. I am 3 weeks post op. He is very fit but works at eating right and wants to see my success as well. I am so lucky to have this as you both are as well.

I am realizing that I will do better at this since he is experiencing it too. Good luck on your adventure. I can't wait to be 3 weeks post op!!

Welcome aboard. I think that's WONDERFUL. You both are making a change together. No spousal peer pressure.
