3 weeks and 1 day until May!

How's everyone feeling? I get serious butterflies in my stomach everytime I think about how close my big day is. My big last supper/birthday thing is next Saturday and I start Optifast the following Tuesday...it's definitely going to be an emotional week!

I hear that.... I have 5 more days of eating "normally" (fattening foods)... I have been discussing with my family and co workers the hardest thing for me is learning HOW to eat again. I tend to eat very fast and chew very little. From what I hear, that will change or I will be very sick. With my job, I am going to have to push myself to take a break and get away from my desk to eat. I am getting so nervous about not really the surgery, but returning to work afterwards. I think I will be fine at home, but when at work, I will have to think about what I am doing and not just swallow what is in my mouth to be able to talk..... wow.... it is going to be wierd... About the surgery, yes, I am nervous about that too. I am already packing my bag and trying to figure out what to wear home from the hospital... can't find my slippers.... oh no...

I have 5 days of 'normal' eating too. And I completely understand what you mean about re-learning how to eat. It's going to be hard because after a few months, you're mind is going to want to go back to bad eating habits, but your body won't be able to handle it. That's what I am dreading the most, head hunger. I think the actual surgery is what I am the least afraid of

Hey Chantal, My surgery in on May 1st also. I am nervous, but even more so I am looking forward to being weighed at my one month check up. never looked forward to being weighed before in my life!
