Surgery is tomorrow....I'm really nervous!

Tomorrow morning is my big day! I am so nervous that I haven't even cared that I cant have anything to eat today. My stomach is in a knot...I have been only able to keep down one shake so far.

Anyway, wish me luck tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be fine once it's over. I also have a hard time with going under and so I am trying to take all the precautions of anti nausea meds ahead of time so that doesn't happen but there is no guarantee.

If you've ever had a hard time with anesthesia then you understand.

Well, I am off to surf and try to get my mind off things....everything...!

That's so normal. You'll be fine. Do something to take your mind off of surgery. Get that anti nausea meds and you'll do great. I think I was so geeked and ready, that I didn't have time to be nervous. I remember they carted me off to the surgery room, had me move over to another table and then put a mask on my face and told me to take 3 deep breaths and I only remember the 1st. Next thing I knew they were waking me up after surgery. I really didn't feel pain until later that evening and even then I was so on top of the pain meds that it wasn't that bad. Good luck.

I am better today. It took me all these days though to just feel ok. It was a hard recovery. I tried to go out yesterday but had motion sickness. Today I was able to go to Shaws which was a big deal..I was wiped out when I got back.

I have lost 17lbs since the 20th of December so I am happy about that. This week has helped b/c I've lost almost a pound every day. Most likely due to not eating much. I'm trying.

I just made some egg custard to eat later. I'm so happy to be able to eat a little something. I sometimes feel sick just b/c of not being able to eat.

How are you feeling?
