April 4, 201412 yr Author I am having my surgery on April 9th. I am having similar feelings as you. Trying to keep busy. I am nervous but know that I am doing the right thing. Where are you having your surgery? So nice to know there's others fighting the same battles. This has been the most emotional journey for me.. I have heard this per op diet is by far the worst. I'm wondering how long before I have more energy? Its amazing how now that I only eat 1meal a day I savor every moment. I know I could eat way more than 4oz Protein and 1/2 c of veggies. But now I'm fine with it. I am satisfied! I Hope everyone that is getting ready for surgery have great success! In my prayers sleevers!
April 4, 201412 yr Author Wow, you lost 26lbs during pre-op? Thats Amazing. You are going to do just fine. Soon you won't have the cravings and hunger pains to contend with! You can do this...Maybe you should treat yourself to a massage or a mani/pedi...You've worked hard... Hi, im April 8th. Three more days and im beginning to stress a little. Last day off work yesterday I have to try and keep myself busy for the next few days.
April 5, 201412 yr My surgery is on the 16th. What really helps ease my mind is literally not to think about the surgery itself. I feel like if I think about it I may panic and get scared, or if I think about it I may get overly excited. In college I was taught there are two different types of stress the good, in which someone may be planning something big like surgery or a wedding. This will cause u to get excited unable to sleep and constantly thinking about the event. Of course we all know the bad stress that will cause worry and headache etc. I choose to continue what I'm doing, I just don't think about it. This really helps me get bye
April 5, 201412 yr My surgery is scheduled for April 9th. I'd love to share experiences with each other.
April 5, 201412 yr I'm April 16th! Feel free to send me private message so we can follow each other and get tips from someone in the same stages. That goes for any of you April people. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Ready to get it done and start the new life I'm looking forward to.
April 5, 201412 yr My date is 4/14/14!!! I would like April buddies too. I am on the pre op diet. Not easy at all.
