Surgery Monday...the anxiety

[Cocojh 62]

I am having surgery Monday and the anxiety is unreal. I'm so hungry!!! I want to eat a steak so bad!! I keep staring at Ninja wondering what I can put in it! Lol!! I want to eat some food, but I already slipped up and ate a piece of turkey breast. The idea of drainage tubes coming out of my body seems so painful right now.

@@Cocojh You can make it! It's temporary that you can't eat. Just keep thinking of the benefits! Do not stress on drains - they aren't painful.

I am trying so hard. I've been going to bed early each night to be sure I comply! I have lost about 8lbs. This is great in itself considering I went through six months of diet and exercise and only lost 12 lbs. which is generally what happens when I diet. I am praying that this surgery will help me be successful with my weight loss. Thanks for the reply.

You're doing better than me...lost about 4 lbs in 3 months on my presurgery diet. The surgery will work as long as you follow the plan!

I still got a month to go so I can only imagine the anxiety and racing thoughts you must be experiencing. Only advise I can give is to maybe embrace these feelings and realy go with it. Maybe you will get it all out of your system...and maybe don't listen to me at all. What do I know? Lol. Best of luck to you.

you'll sleep tomorrow, so don't worry if you can't sleep. take a bath, clean out the silverware drawer, anything to take your mind off it. even binge watch something on netflix.

please let us know how you are doing!

Hi all, I'm about 12 hours out and so far everything has been great. No gas pains, just a little discomfort from the drain. I am not allowed to have any liquids until tomorrow morning. I was allowed to have a sponge with a little Water on it to rinse my mouth.
