eat4life 31 Posted April 4, 2014 I am having my surgery on April 9th. I am having similar feelings as you. Trying to keep busy. I am nervous but know that I am doing the right thing. Where are you having your surgery? So nice to know there's others fighting the same battles. This has been the most emotional journey for me.. I have heard this per op diet is by far the worst. I'm wondering how long before I have more energy? Its amazing how now that I only eat 1meal a day I savor every moment. I know I could eat way more than 4oz Protein and 1/2 c of veggies. But now I'm fine with it. I am satisfied! I Hope everyone that is getting ready for surgery have great success! In my prayers sleevers! 1 smallnavajo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweetbaby1 77 Posted April 5, 2014 My surgery is on the 16th. What really helps ease my mind is literally not to think about the surgery itself. I feel like if I think about it I may panic and get scared, or if I think about it I may get overly excited. In college I was taught there are two different types of stress the good, in which someone may be planning something big like surgery or a wedding. This will cause u to get excited unable to sleep and constantly thinking about the event. Of course we all know the bad stress that will cause worry and headache etc. I choose to continue what I'm doing, I just don't think about it. This really helps me get bye 2 Tangy and smallnavajo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
