2 Weeks to Surgery and I making myself nuts!

Every day I wake up with a different mood, happy, nervous, depressed, excited! I'm sure my family members think I'm nuts. Some days I can't stop talking about the surgery, other days I don't want anyone to mention it! Lucky for me they love me and know it's my nerves. I just wish I could fast forward myself to May 7! I am also having a hard time sticking to my pre-surgery diet! I keep cheating.

I know exactly how you feel.....there are days that I say to everyone I know...."Hey...Did I tell you I'm having surgery??". There are other days I'm saying to my family...."Why did you tell them....I don't want anyone knowing!!!" It's crazy!! It's almost as if I'm pregnant!!!!! It's like my hormones are going crazy...but I know it's just my nerves. I'm not quite sure that that my family understands that. I've always been a "moody" person as far as my family is concerned. I was an aweful teenager...pretty much hated everyone cuz I hated myself. I understand that now....but I don't think that they did. My surgeon is different from everyone else's it seems. I had my appointment on Thursday and he told me that I don't have to go on a diet before sugery (which is the 17th).....just don't go into surgery weighing 30 lbs. more cuz the more I weigh, the more difficult it will make the surgery. Completely understandable to me. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but dieting before surgery is useless the way that I see it. It's not like we can eat now, the way that we are going to be eating later. Right now....I'm not thinking that I could survive off of a liquid diet....but I know that a liquid diet after the surgery is going to satisfy me just fine. Maybe it's just me....I don't know....but one reason I look foward to this...is that it FORCES me to change my eating habits. That is exactly what I need. My whole life, I've gone on doing whatever I wanted....even if I didn't really want to eat all that crap....I still did. I couldn't stop it....but now...I HAVE to!!! I love that. I know I'll probably go through hell for a little while, but I need the wake up call!!! I'm sure many of you do too!!!! Good luck to all of you!!!! Wendy

Hi Lynda, I start my diet tommorrow. Boy has my mood changed also. Some days I don't know wether to or . The good new is will be over soon. Hang in there. Your sun will be up shortly. Dianna

my surgery is may 4 and i keep cheating also. this is really tough because if we were able to stick to a diet like this we would't need surgery.

I know how you feel....my surgery is May 6th. I start my diet tomorrow. I wish that the 6th was tomorrow... we just have to hang in there and look at the big picture...we are soon going to be losers.

HI LINDA! I AM 2 WEEKS PRE OP ALSO AND I FIND MYSELF MAKING MYSELF CRAZY!!
