I know the feeling!! My surgery is scheduled for one week from today. I'm really starting to freak out a bit. Very worried about the mental aspect of it afterward. Good luck and prayers said for you!!

Im usually pretty good at figuring things like this out, but I don't know how I change my information and upload pictures and such...can anyone point me in the right direction?Thanks in advance!!:confused:

Thanks to everyone who responded! I wasn't really sure how this blog thing would help me but I really appreciate the advice. I have support at home, but they are more listeners, which is great but sometimes I just need to be cheered on! I feel better just knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have just started the process. My insurance won't allow coverage for six months. In a way I am grateful, after six months of preparation I should definitely be as ready as possible! I'm finding the pre-surgery diet easier than I thought it would be..but ask me in a couple of months, maybe I won't be so enthusiastic!!

So here I am. My first blog. I have just begun my journey this month! I am very nervous, and excited at the same time. I hope to find some good support here. I am currently scared of losing some things that I am so used to having. Like chocolate and soda!!! I know that sounds horrible that that is what I am most nervous about. I think I will be most scared of the actual surgery later! Right now I have to begin my new diet and start practicing my chewing and eating without liquids. This is going to be such a great challenge! Please give any advice or inspirational messages! :confused: Thanks!!
