12 days away!

sunsett · September 15, 2005

I am 12 days away from bandland! AHHH I'm emotional! Scared! Hungry! Excited! Grumpy! I want to do everything right!

Do you have any advice to give me that I should do now before I go in on the 26th?

I started my liquid phase on Monday. I am not in good shape physically which scares me. I know I should walk more and do more crunches and other exercises. What else should I be doing?

And the grumpiness! Don't you DARE LEAVE A DISH IN THE SINK!

Hey there Sunset

We are in the same boat. My surgery is in 11 days, on the 24th with Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I'm also exited but mostly scared. Where are you having yours done and with whom?

You guys are going to be just fine. Those are the emotions that you go through. What about the "What in the world am I doing", then decide 5 times before surgery that you are not going to do it. You will be just fine as soon as you wake up after surgery and find out how good you feel, verry little pain and then you get to go back to sleep.

For exercise start walking in place for 5 or 10 minutes throughout the day whenever you can. Walking will become your friend. It will move the gas out of your body.

Mine is in 9 days on the 23rd as well. I have been doing little things. I park as far as I can get away from my work and since we have a huge parkinglot that takes up 20 minutes of my day, because from my desk to my car it will take me 10 minutes to get there. I also put my lunch in the a far breakroom. If I want ice or my lunch I have walk there to get it. It gets me away from my desk and gets me some exercise to boot!
