I have my pre-op Tuesday, surgery the 27th. I'm second guessing if I can do this. I'm no longer terrified of the actual surgery or recovery, still worried, anxious of complications. I just don't know if I can do protein drinks, supplements everyday forever. When I see it typed out, I think what the heck, it won't be a big deal. See, I am bi-polar and have to take meds every day anyway, maybe it won't be as hard to just add more pills to the mix? Ugh, I'm so confused.

Thank you for the encouraging words.

Thank you so much for the encouragement

Me too: January 27th

Hi. First day to the site. I like the Operation Operation post. My surgery is scheduled for 1/27/14. Pre-op appt 1/21/14. I'm nervous. I'm not receiving as much support as I did initially. I've lost 86 lbs since I started this process in March 2013. Now friends/co-workers, family are saying that I've done this well in my own I should just stick to it. Ugh, it's not like I hadn't in the past. I know that I still need this tool to get myself where I need to be physical and mental health wise. I've visited a few sites, hadn't seen any that I wanted to participate in. I read a couple threads on this site and thought I'd give it a go. My counselor and nutritionist say I need to find a support group. I'm not a fan of in person, so again, thought I'd give this a try. I'm feeling selfish, wanting to do this now. I'll be 39 in February. I don't want to hit 40 in the same shape I'm in. On the flip side, I'm frustrated with myself for waiting as ling as I did. Having a hard time focusing on I've lost 80+ lbs, just that I have so much further to go. Don't worry, I've started counseling. Trying to sort out my issues to find a place to start. Any advice, suggestions will be appreciated. Sorry for rambling...
