March Role Call!!
SinDLou replied to VSGandMe2011 (DisneyMomma)'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Nervousness and excitment come from the same place. I choose to be excited. Good luck to all. WE CAN DO THIS! -
Last day of regular food - and to tell you the truth I think I've already started to change the way I think because it doesn't even taste that good. Mentally, physically, and spiritually I'm ready. March 3, here I come!

I'm sending good wishes and blessing to March 1 folks! Stay in touch and let us know how you're doing! I'm March 3, and continue to be very excited (and a little nervous). WE CAN DO THIS! Have a blessed day everyone! -

Thanks so much for doing this list. Connecting with others is important to me, and I've been able to do that through your posting! Have a super day! Cindy -
Hi Deb, My name is Cindy and I am scheduled for March 3. Definitely count down 3,2,1! I am so excited about this (finally) permanant solution to my over eating problem. Good luck to you! WE CAN DO THIS!

Someone very wise told me that excitement and nervousness come from the same place in our bodies, and physiologically the reactions are the same. Therefore, when I “say” I feel nervous, I choose to turn it around to being “excited.” That helps me. Good luck on your doctor's visit, and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Good luck! My sleeve date is March 3! Yahoo!

Ditto on the feelings of craziness! I also have been very successful for short periods of time on various diets and food plans over many years. Having surgery is a permanent, long term solution for me. WE CAN DO THIS! -

QueenBee, I exctied and nervous too-the two perfect words that describe how I feel today. We can do this! Looking forward to hearing about your journey. I'm scheduled for March 3, finished all pre-op visits except for one more nutrition class on Monday. Yeah!!!! Take care, Cindy -
Met with surgeon, pre-op completed. I have an EKG and blood work scheduled for today, followed by a 2 hour nutrition class on Monday. March 3 is only a few days away and my mind is totally preoccupied with thoughts about surgery. I have a zillion feelings, mostly confidence and excitement - with a small splash of nervousness about the surgery. Yeah! Very excited today!

Just found out Tuesday that my surgery is scheduled for March 3. Wow - been working on all the insurance requirements for over 6 months, mentally preparing for longer than that. I'm ready, I say confidently (I think) :-). First surgery, and have a zillion different feelings. I'm all over the map! I'm looking for words of wisdom, comfort, advice..... Thanks, Cindy in VA

I am March 3 too. I live in VA, and am so excited. Finally, I am confident this will be the solution I need to get my life back. Let's stay in touch - could really use the support. My husband is going to have the surgery also, but has not finished insurance requirements. He does not want to talk about it, however he says he is committed to doing this. Hope you have a blessed day. Cindy in VA -
Thanks for the support, actually I was able to purchase the book on my IPAD, so will read it this weekend. I wish you well, and thanks again for helping others. My food addition has kicked into high gear - Tuesday I found out my surgery date is March 3. Wow, I have a zillion feelings - all surfacing at once and I'm turning to my drug of choice. So, today is a new day and with my new book I will surrender and take comfort in something better than food - support from others. Have a blessed day.

Thank you, I found it! Good luck and stay in touch.

Missy, Glad things are goin well for you. My story is similar. I've completed all the paperwork, and Tuesday learned my surgery date is March 3. Just a couple of weeks away. I too am confident this surgery is a solution to my life long struggle. Stay in touch! Cindy (in Virginia) -
I hope you are doing well, would love an update. My sleeve date is March 3. I just found out yesterday. Last minute advice?

After reading your reply, I immediately took a breath and felt somewhat relaxed. I have to constantly be reminded to take it easy, stay in the present, and stop STRESSING. I really appreciate that you took the time to send encouragement. Thank you very much.

If you are looking for a buddy, I too am looking for an "accountbilty" partner. I have not had surgery yet, but in line wating. Regardless, good for you for positng and reaching out. Acceptance, I find, is the answer to all my frustrations. So, acceptance that you're in a funk, acceptance that this too shall pass, and acceptance that there are solutions to your challenges will all help you to be the best you can be, just for today. Have a super day. Cindy
