Okay... been through the process all summer long by seeing all the required doctors... Glad that is finally done. I think the most stressful one was the cardiologist. As after the EEG he wanted a stress test. Gawd that was scary, but got the letter from them the week later that everything was "satisfactory" LOL So from then on it was wait to see my surgeon. So today I went!! I am healthy and ready to go, so he told me he had an opening on September 27th.. I was floored!!! Not realizing it cold be this soon. I was thinking October... when you say it in your mind you think... October still a month away... well not anymore, now I'll be "post-op" in October!!! OMG!

I am nervous, scared, anxious.. excited!!! I can't really describe all the emotions going on inside me right now. I want to get this started, but still very scared that I can pull it off. I'm so used to eating what I want that to drastically change my life, is very scary. I'm ready, I've been preping myself for weeks, buying and eating Protein, cleaning out the cupboard and unfortunately eating the things I know I'm not gonna be able to have for a long time!! Making recipes that I haven had in awhile. My hubby's loving all my cooking over the summer! He knows life will be different and he's ready too, or so he says... well he's gonna learn real quick. I'm a bit worried about him, but I'm sure he' be alright. When I did Nutrisystems a couple of years ago he had to cook for himself and he did alright, so he'll be fine for a few months again.

I will begin the Pre-operative diet on Monday (10 days before surgery) . It's gonna change! As they say at our support groups, it'll be a new normal! I think I'm ready!

Any sage advice from anyone who's been here?!?!

Yay! Mine is Sept 25.

Congrats ...

I know all those whirlwind emotions. They changed my date several times from Oct 15 to the 1st to my new date. I go tomorrow for my preop tests and find out when I start my preop. Then I have a 4 hr class for postop on Thursday with a support group visit. Hang in there ... we will be postop before you know it!
