I am new to the boards and feeling so nervous right now. My surgery date is 10/14...I am doing OK on the pre op diet but my anxiety over the initial post op phase is getting to me. I am obsessing that I won't get in enough fluids and Proteins, or imagining the worst...that I will have a leak. Just wanting to feel that this is normal?

I am facing surgery next week and can feel your pain...I hope you are more kind to yourself, you can do this. I am trying to think of these restrictions as necessary, but temporary! Hang in there one hour at a time, beffore you know it, you will be in the next phase.
