November surgery pals

[JennyC724 15]

I already have my date, just because that's how my surgeon's office works. They gave me November 4th, based of course on whether I get approved by my insurance, and finish ALL the appointments with specialists in the correct amount of time. It seems like FOREVER to wait, and I'm hoping to find some November buddies to wait with

I'm a tentative November 9th! Here's to the next few months of Pasta, cheese and beer. ????

Woo Hoo!!!! Finally some buddies. My surgery is November 12th. I chose that date because it worked best for taking the two weeks off of work. I already know insurance won't pay for mine so I have chosen a surgeon a friend used in Mexico.

And yes! I am enjoying ALL my favorite foods now. I start my two week liquids right before Halloween.

Here's to better health.....later.

Since I've gotten my date I wake up anxious and nervous. I suppose that is normal.

[Doubletruble#1 31]

I get that way also but usually when I go to sleep I start praying and end up thinking about all the changes I have to do and end up with stomach pain, nausea and takes me a long time to fall asleep.

I went to support group on Tuesday and it helped me tremendously. If your bariatric center offers it.,, go!

I haven't really gotten too nervous.....yet. Mostly I just think how much better I'm going to feel, and how I will be able to walk without hurting, or bend over without grunting, etc etc. I'm enjoying my food now and am usually thinking of ways to beef up the Protein in it for post-surgery (months post-surgery).

Sometimes I'll get a little sad because I'll think, "won't be able to have this after surgery". Then I remember, well I can. Just a lot less, and after I have my Protein first. Trying to turn the thinking around.

PM'd you Jenny.

Have a great week everyone!
