I had my last Pre-Op class today, and when I left I was on the verge of a major anxiety attack. I know this is what I want, what I planned for, but it was all very overwhelming today. My surgery is 7/29 so some positive thoughts would be appreciated.

I think some of it is we can't use our old go to (food) to de stress. Normally if I felt like I was on the edge of a breakdown I'd go through the Dairy Queen drive thru. Guess this is good practice for learning new coping mechanisms.

There are two women that do a YouTube cooking show called Seven Bites, it's full of cooking ideas and tips for Bariatric patients.

I'm a night shifter and had to have some labs drawn this morning that required me to be NPO. I'm not going to lie, it sucked, you're never thirsty until someone tells you that you can't have a drink. I survived, just kept reminding myself that my goal is in sight!

@@Dub Wow! Thank you for your wise words. I'm scheduled for July 29th and am getting more and more scared as the date approaches. My dad died of a massive heart attack at 44 and that is my motivator, I just needed someone to remind me of that.

It shouldn't smell, your doctor needs to check your urine to be sure you don't have a CAUTI (catheter associated urinary tract infection). You may need them to prescribe an antibiotic.
