Surg 1/27/10-Finally went through with it!

After many different doctors and appointments and cancelled surgery dates, I finally stuck to the 27th.  I wanted to cancel about a million times the night before surgery, but didnt.  Now I am home with a successful surgery and lots of confusing feelings and new things to do!

Taking it day by day.

Congratulations.  Just take it easy now and get your schedule worked out so you can take your vitamins when you should.  Sip water all day except at meals and walk.

Ooops.. Do you realize that makes you normal?

I had my heart set on this and the morning of got cold feet but kept telling myself. I can't do it alone. I need this help... For the first few days I was so scared as to what I had done... but now that most of the pain is gone and I am feeling better, I know it was right for me... you will too...

But I have heard from many posts that say.... it is normal to be more sensitive and emotional as the fat holds a lot of estrogen and as it is burned you get more released into your system... so don't fret... you are very normal... Thank God... because that makes me normal too!

Best of luck and glad you had no or limited complications.

Thanks for the reply.  I am so emotional right now and I have never been the kind of person to act like this.

I keep asking myself what did i do, along with all the other questions that are similar to that.

My life is a little more complicated than average.  We have businesses/offices and houses in 2 different cities.  Plus hobbies that keep us on the road.  Right now, I am just so scared that I just made my life harder than it was.  I guess I never put everything that would be needed into reality in my life.

How are you feeling and doing?

Physically everything is good with me, but mentally I am still a wreck.  I am having a really hard time adjusting to my new life.  Went to the Dr on Thursday and told him, but all he said was youve lost 30 lbs.  That wasnt helpful.  So I was just checking in to see how everybody else was feeling.

Congrats!! Welcome to the loser's bench!! I had my surgery on the 25th and I know how you feel about the night before and having all those thoughts. Glad you finally did it!!

How are you doing?

I am doing pretty good! I am still a little sore. I have all this energy and since I am still recovering I cant use it up. And by the time I can use all this energy there is a great possibility I have any with all the loss of calorie intake. Otherwise I am so happy with my surgery. How are you feeling?

Well I was trying to give this sirgery some time to sink in and I was hoping things would get better.  I still am not sure about having done this.  I went to see the Dr on Thursday and told him I was having a hard time, but all he would say is youve lost 30 pounds.

We will see, maybe it will get better.  I just feel like my life has been taken over.

How are doing with everything?

I lost 24 since 1/26 surgery.. This past week I have an infection in one of the incisions. The medicine is very bitter but it appears to be working. Otherwise I have a bit of energy, not nearly what I did, but getting better.
