Less Than 2 Days....
Well Its Sunday. Surgery is at 1045 on Tuesday. I dont have to be there till 915 which is fine by be since Im pretty much still a kid and enjoy sleeping in. Nerves= going crazy, not because of just the surgery but i also have a final exam tomorrow which is very stressful. I kno part of it is because of the surgery because i have always been healthy, just overweight my life. No serious health problems and never been in the hospital other than my nursing clinical rotations for school. So as far as being a patient its going to be a whole new experience for me, which is what is making me the most nervous.
For those who have gotten it done already... Did you bring anything to occupy your time, like puzzles, or books?.. or were you on the move a lot n didn't have the time? Im trying to figure out exactly what to pack in my overnight bag.
As nervous as I am i still an very anxious and excited to start this new chapter of my life, along with my last semester of nursing school.
My goal is by next summer before i turn 23 to meet MY goal weight, the Dr. has it set a bit higher for me because he thinks i would look "sickly" if i weighted what i should for my height. I Have 12 days down of the pre-op diet n when i went out n bought a new scale and weighted myself i couldn't believe i had lost almost 10lbs already , so I made my mom weigh herself as well and she said it was right for her.
I know a few days ago i wasn't in the best mind frame, that went away and now I honestly can't wait. Dont know if ill post before surgery or not.
Lastly, Just wanted to say thank you for everyone who has helped support me, give me their knowledge and experiences to see, it has helped tremendously in the start of this life long journey. I was concerned that since i am quite young that people may judge me on this decision, but so far i haven't and it gives me hope that no matter what age you are there are people out there willing to help and accept you and your decisions. Thank you, All of you <3
