So nervous..

[JessicaAnn 564]

Not really about the surgery itself. I have full trust in my surgeon. I'm nervous about how I'll feel waking up, how the first few days will be, about leaks and complications, about getting in all my fluids and Protein, about failing, about regretting everything.

This is a permanent decision, and I've done years of research (probably too much research), but I still find myself getting that butterfly/queasy feeling whenever I think about how close it is. pre op diet starts in 8 days, and surgery is July 3rd.

Not really much of a point to this, I just need to get my feelings out to people who are going through it. My husband just keeps telling me to relax, but he's naturally fit with no effort and doesn't really understand.

You'll be fine, just follow your doctors/nutritionists instructions. The getting the fluids in part is kinda hard post-op, it would take me all day to drink one bottle of Isopure. That and if you have young kids, not picking them up or making sure that they don't jump on you... I was constantly putting my hands up to protect myself from too much love.

All normal feelings, trust me. All I can say is take it one day at a time, don't freak out about stuff that isn't happening yet (this is coming from someone with through the roof anxiety lol). Your post pretty much looks exactly what I was thinking in your place pre-op. You will do great, just follow dr's orders and take it slow!

Lol I do have two kids, ages 3.5 and 1. The older one is good, I'll just show him my belly and he will understand.

I am just about 1.5 weeks out and so far i haven't gotten sick, just a little nausea and tired, eating more and I assume still healing. I have had a little hassle with sleeping positions at night but i think for the time that is normal. I was like you thinking what am I doing to my body? The odds are you will heal up fine and adjust--bodies are amazing at that. Think of the positive health benefits you will get and just follow orders!

I'm with you JessicaAnn. My surgery is tomorrow and I started getting nervous last night. Everyone says it's normal but I do have all the same worries for after surgery.

Self Talk! I can do it!!!....
