Glad to have this support group : ) I haven't told anyone except my husband.

I just received my surgery date for October 9th. I know this is the best thing for me, but I still have worries. I especially worry about complications and getting all my nutritional needs, i.e. protein. I know the first few months post-surgery are the most difficult time emotionally and physically. I feel that if there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I can do anything for awhile. Most of the posts that I have read are very possitive and helpful. That makes me feel good but I would feel better if I knew what life and the dietary restrictions will be like 2+ years out. Will I ever feel normal again without worrying about what to eat?!! I have talked with my dietitian but I would feel better hearing it from someone who has lived it. I have read so many posts and I haven't found one discussion about what to expect further out than a year or two. Does anyone have any stories that they have heard (good or bad)?

I have the same thoughts too. Excited but nervous/scared pretty much sums it up for me.
