I'm scheduled for my surgery on 21 Apr. I am on day 3 of my 2 week "pre-op" diet. It is difficult but not as bad as I thought. It is actually kind of nice having limited options and I look forward to next week when all I can have is yougurt for that very reason. I just have to be sure that I drink the proper amount of fluid. Right now I'm just extremely stressed out about the approval issue. I hope to find out more about this early next week. I may be worrying for nothing but experience tells me otherwise. I just know how the organization works; it can be so very slow to move and ppl aren't always as helpful as I would like. I also have concerns about what (if anything) to tell people. This wouldn't even be an issue if it weren't for the fact that J. had the same thing done; it puts a whole other perspective on it. I don't feel like I should have to defend myself but due to the nature of ppl and what they think, I know I will be put in that exact position to do so. I joined the lapbandtalk site a few days ago and have found it to be extremely useful. The info one can glean from this site is tremendous and I intend to make as much use of it as I can. I have already learned so much. My other concern is for C. I know that this was have an impact/effect on him as well...and our relationship. Not our personal feelings for each other but what we "do" together. Eating out and food, in general, has been an important part of what we do together. And though I know this will force us to change I don't want him to think or feel he is being forced and even though I know it will be good for us, I know it will also be difficult to break some of our habits. I love C. for all his unconditional support he gives me and I only hope I can give back the same and I hope he doesn't become disappointed or bitter over this whole thing...due to us not being able to do the food thing together anymore (ie. eating out etc). Hopefully we'll just be able to enjoy it together, but in a different way...a healthier way. I hope this will help the diabetic situation as well as my comorbidities.
