Mine is that I won't be able to keep up on fluids and get dehydrated.

Mine is that I will put the weight back on. After yo-yoing all my life you never feel like it will end. Thank god for therapy.

Regaining weight after taking it off

[Jesser 295]

Regaining the weight, hating the new lifestyle change and missing food. That would be torture!

[erp 2,016]

Leaks, abscess, stricture.

all of the above! and surgery this Wednesday, but most of all, I am afraid of not facing my fears and using them as an excuse to run right out of the hospital, seriously I would probably stop at Wendys drive thru on my way home to "self medicate" my anxiety.

That's what I am afraid of.

But I am not going to do that.

I am going to use my big girl strength and courage and I am going to push my self through this, with no expectation of it being simple,easy, pain free or not challenging and incredibly emotional.

I need it to be all of those things so I appreciate it and not take it for granted.

The plane trip home!!!! I've been working for months w/ a therapist on all the food addiction issues, I feel like I'm working hard and will continue to work hard on that. I know that's a much bigger part than the surgery. Right now I'm worried about making it home comfortably! Crazy, I know!
