Surgery on July 30th

[JillP 9]

Well now the time is flying by and surgery will be here before you know it. All my physicals and stuff are done and all is well. So why am I so nervous still? I know I am making a the very best decision and I am so happy about it but my nerves are still frazzled. I am wishing I had more confidence in my post surgery self! Anyone else ever feel like this?

I too am having surgery on the 30th, and yes, I get nervous. I know that after I have this surgery (well, after the first 2 wks post-op) I will not regret it. This will be the best thing we have ever done for ourselves.

Hi, My surgery is on July 30 too. I'm a nervous wreck!

I'm really struggling with the pre-surgery liquid diet and feel pretty depressed about it. I'm having the surgery to insure that my senior years won't be full of sickness and pain, but even that thought doesn't stop me from wanting to eat all the time. When I'm anxious, I eat, so this has been super hard. And its only day 3 of the diet!

I actually had second thoughts about the surgery this morning when I was forcing myself to drink...I guess this is part of the process of preparing for what life will be like for 8 weeks post-op. And so the surgeon will know that I can comply with the diet. (OMG)

I'm going to look at all of the pretty clothes in my closet I cannot wear anymore...

Good Luck!

Thanks ladies! I will be thinking of you on the 30th! Nice to know I am not the only one going through it on that day! We should start our own little support group... We could call it the July 30 Girls! What do u think about it? I really need some support and would love to have it from people at the exact stage as me

Sure JillP! I'm in. I am struggling so much right now with the pre-op diet. Have to go to the grocer today (OMG) to get some clear broth and other items. I hope you are doing well.
