Today is the day!

Today is the day and I'm trying to keep my cool. (I'm a nurse and over think things when it comes to surgery.) The whole clears and prep, etc wasn't so bad but the growing headache is wearing on me. I've tried to keep my feelings about the surgery low key. I've been afraid to get excited because at every corner I just knew some glitch would occur. Somehow I made it to this point and have mixed feelings. (I imagine it's quite normal.) I seem to wavering on excitement and guilt, nervousness, eagerness, fear. More of me though just wants to go and just get it done and past me so I can move on! The support I've gotten from other RNY patients, being friends and strangers has been a big comfort to me and very encouraging! So, about to get ready for the hospital...Please send prayers and positive vibes my way!

How are you doing, so far?

The best days are now ahead of you. We nurses are the worst patients, but take your pain med when you feel you need it.

Had my surgery the 16th, and am counting the days until I can have soft foods ie cottage cheese and scrambled eggs. I must say this week of shakes is killing me. Being retired, the fridge seems to chase me around the house.LOL

Each day gets better. Good luck on your journey to a new you!
