3 WEEKS & I AM SO VERY NERVOUS !



Recommended Posts

I am very much needing some words of encouragement.

I leave in 3 weeks (to the hour of me posting this) and I have been so utterly nervous the past week and a half that I am literally making myself sick. My stomach is in knots, stuff it coming out all ends, and I find myself emotionally eating at times where I am alone with my nerves.

I know that nerves are normal but since I have only told a small carefully selected group of people, I am finding it hard to cope with my nerves. People are just assuming I have the flu or; typical assumption for women; pregnant.

On Monday I went online to order some flavored juice Protein drink packs and powder's and I found myself so nervous and overwhelmed that I got nauseous and closed all internet windows ... and went back to work. Who knew something so simple as online shopping for a particular item could make someone so upset. The amount of varieties, and companies to choose from the decision got way to hard.

I hope this feeling is very normal.

I think I over prepared myself in the beginning, became so confident with the knowledge that now that it is almost time, I am freezing up. Just like some students do before a huge diploma exam.

I am leaving for a 5 day family holiday tomorrow and I am hoping this gives my mind a chance to unwind a bit.

Robin.

What, exactly, makes you nervous? The surgery itself? Try focusing on the positives. Think of the weightloss you will have and how great you will look and feel?

I have really just started the process and have decided on the sleeve rather than lapband. It makes me a little nervous, too. I think I am afraid to fail.

We can both get through this and will! I have read many great stories about how great people felt right after surgery, so many not having nausea or vomitting or hardly any pain or discomfort!!!!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
