excited
today is feb.26th and i only have five more days till my surgery. i'm excited , however nervous, anxious and all those emotions a person goes through when they know there life is going to change for the better. i cant gain any wieght before surgery so i'm trying my hardest to keep dropping wieght or my surgery will be cancelled. so i guess i'm fighting two battles. well god willing everything will go fine and i can regain my life once again. loretta
Loretta,
First of all, Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. It'll be here before you know it!!! WoW only 5 days!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear from you once you're on the other side and can tell those of us with much later dates what to expect.
Second, you are right to recognize that the emotions that you are going through are completely normal. We are all going through them at verying degrees. This is such a major life changing step for all of us. That we can't help but go through such a wide range of emotions.
Third, about the weight gain, drink your water!!!! Get out and take a walk when you get a craving!!!! I know it's hard to try and lose weight at this stage of the game, but you can do it!!!!!!!!!!! :thumpsup:
And finally, You are going to do abosolutely fantastic!!!! Always remember, positive thinking!!!!!!!!!!! That's my motto!!!
I'll be thinking of you this week and praying for everything to go smoothly and a quick recovery.
Do you have an angel yet? If not, post and we will try to get you one.
