Hi! Being nervous is normal! Keep yourself calm by deep breathing' date=' take a walk & think of all the reasons why you're having surgery! Remember you so worth it! Now is your time!You'll feel so much better--able to walk, keep up with everyone, able to breathe better, look better, buy clothes you want to instead of settling for what fits, get off meds, hopefully!
My surgery is Sept.8, 2012 & I'm nervous too. BUT we can do it!
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow & sending best wishes & blessings your way!
Good Luck![/quote']

You're doing so well - great job!!
I'm on day.. (where am i?).. 4. The mornings are always easier for me in terms of how I feel. I make my own shake with ice (Shakeology) and am ok until around mid-day. Then the mental fog sets in. I heard around day 4 that you're supposed to feel a ton better, and I'm not sure that I do yet. I feel like I'm outside my body, not really present. Yes, I am aware that I am speaking like a complete alien, but I feel that way! Ah!
The first two days I had the worst headaches (carb withdrawal, luckily cut out caffeine months ago). And I already "cheated" with a few bites of grilled chicken each on those first two days.
Every time I'm having a particularly tough moment with the all liquids, I come to this forum. It does help, but I feel like I'm struggling so much more with the pre op than other people have mentioned. I guess my will power and addiction to food (both physically and emotionally) are just coming to a head. I'm just willing the 10 days I have left to pass by as quickly as possible but I admit that this is really really hard for me!
You can do it.. i love food.. love to cook.. its a test for me .. but god is really helping me get thru this.. and the support from this forum.. good luck.. we don't have much time left till surgery.. keep me updated..

Ok.. so.. I'm on my liquid diet now.. not to bad so far... I started on this journey at 249lbs.. i'm down 16lbs to 233 today... thats great for me.. i'm getting more and more excited i only have 11 days till my surgery... I am proud of my will power so far.. and I just know i can do this.. i'm very thankful for all of you who have given me support and advice... Ive got my grocery list ready.. my list of things to purchase before surgery like my Vitamins and gas x strips lol.. and i've got my "what i need to take to the hospital list" ready too.. I'm ready for this.. this is going to be a new chapter of my life.. Im hoping its a much better one.. a healthier one.. and i'm so thankful for the opportunity to "start again"... its going to be a learning process.. guess its a good thing that I like to learn new things..
