  1. Pre Surgery Thinking

    · nebulamystic · 06/01/2012 01:08

    I am still processing the fact that I will be having surgery in less than a month, June 25th is quickly approaching. This is a huge life decision to be made and one I am glad I am embarking on. I am having the surgery for health facts more than losing the weight but I will enjoy doing both. Just not sure how I will feel at a smaller size...I have been big all my life and now the possibility of weighing 130 lbs instead of 225 is sinking in. How has everyone who has lost the weight or close to goal dealt emotionally to losing it? Just thinking about the bigger picture and coming to terms with the life changes ahead of me.
  2. I met with the surgeon, nutritionist and had my psychological evaluation all in the same day...yesterday! My surgery is set for June 25 first thing in the morning. I am glad they made the most of my trip which is 3 hours away one way. I feel a bit overwhelmed about the food situation after surgery right now. Wondering if I can curb my bad habit of guzzling water and eating too fast. Questioning if I can even get 64 oz of liquid in me by sipping all day...it seems impossible at this point. I am happy about the surgery but I am a little scared about the drastic changes regarding my consumption of food..like eating protein kind of scares me at this point. Any words of advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading.
