Starting to get nervous

[soonergirl619 120]

So I'm starting to get nervous and anxious for my surgery. It's two weeks from tomorrow. I'm excited but scared at the same time for this new chapter in my life. Anyone else feeling the same way?

My surgery is in two weeks from last Friday! Yes, I'm getting extremely nervous and anxious! I really just need to get it over with so I can calm down and get on the road to recovery. Good luck!

I can't say my experience represents the norm, and I also can't say it doesn't, but aside from dramatically reduced portion sizes everywhere, life is remarkably identical to the way it was before surgery. I was nauseated in the hospital, but snapped out of it by the time I was discharged. I had to take a week away from work, but I was really ready to go at it again by the Monday after my Thursday surgery.

I can tell you that before my surgery I was quite anxious and thinking that life as I knew it would be over. I last suppered obsessively, and placed calls and messages to my acquaintances lest the worst should happen. I thought I would always hate food going forward, but I still like everything I liked before, and it's not a bad thing, because I can no longer have unhealthy quantities of it. I would look forward with enthusiasm, and then, look at life the same way you did before, just more positively and more confidently. It's not over, it's just beginning, and that is true for your relationship with food as well.
