Flip flops

I was just wondering if anyone else is having flip flops. I can be doing something else and not thinking about surgery at all and my stomach does a flip flop over surgery. Is it just me? Jennifer

Kind of -- it's more like I find that surgery is on my mind ALL THE TIME, because at this point it affects everything I do. Every time I have to make a choice, what to eat, what to do, what to drink, I have to stop and think how it will affect me in terms of the surgery. Julie

Yup.....me too! It's April...Whoohoo!

Yes. I have surges of emotion, surges of anxiety and surges of excitement, all of which are causing flip flops. I feel like my life is on hold until April 13th. All I do is work, sleep and eat. The work part is because I am trying to finish a couple of projects before I go out. The sleep is on the weekends because I collapse after not beingable to sleep well all week. The eating part is my eating disorder taking over my mind. I keep having that diet mentality of "I'll never be able to eat this again". I've even eaten some things that I don't normally eat at all! I feel so much better when I stick to a food plan. I am really looking forward to that feeling again. Dotsie

Dotsie, I am doing the same thing. We flew to my old state this past weekend for my parents' 50th Anniversary and I was trying foods I would never eat before. I keep telling everyone "I'll never eat this again". And I keep eating and eating. It is NOT good because I know I need to start eating my post-op stuff very soon, and I have not started. My will power is bad. I need prayers of support!

You bet, my flip flops are Flipping!! can't wait till the 12th Heres to us April babies Good luck to us all Perry W.

I had to laugh when I read your post because I just ordered 3 new pairs of flip flops from Avon to take to Colombia with me for the hospital because I don't like wearing slippers, and I thought dang, she must have gotten flip flops TOO... To answer your question, NO.. it's not just you! I'm fine then every once in awhile it hits me that this is REALLY happening and I get that funny tummy feeling and then I feel like I have to poop (sorry for my bluntness). The same feeling I get sitting in the dentists waiting room.

I just got a new pair of flip flops for the hospital too. I dont like slippers either. LOL But from what my angel tells me we will afterwards because we are going to be cold a lot of the time.
