May 23 - and so anxious!
My surgery date is May 23, and I am so anxious that I can hardly think of anything else. If someone is talking to me, I can hardly concentrate. I am excited to get past the surgery part. I think I am doing what I am suppose to as far as eating right now. I am on a 1200 calorie, high protien, low fat diet. I am drinking the protien shakes and trying some of the recipes that will work for after surgery.
I just wonder if the rest of you are as excited, nervous and anxious as I am??? I have been working to get to this point for almost 9 months now....and yes, I feel like I am about to give birth to a new baby...only it is really a new opportunity for a healthier life!
We're surgery sisters! It's funny because to me, 3 weeks away seems so far that I am just going about my stuff. lol Just breathe and know everything is going to be just great. I'm kind of getting things organized here at home so that's taking a lot of time for me. Try not to think all the time about the surgery. I know, it's hard. I guess I'm lucky that between school, dance and girl scouts, this is my insanely busy time. LOL Just try to find things that are kind of "no brainers"....things you don't have to really concentrate on. But, May 23rd will be here before we know it!!!!!
If you need to talk, I'm on Yahoo Instant Messenger all the time. My ID there is Lv2beasahm. I'd love to chat with any of my May surgery pals!

Gayla, I know what you mean, I am doing similar things with recipes and the like. My surgery date is also the 23rd and when I was telling someone today it hit me, it's in three weeks! If I look back over the time I have really been on this journey, three weeks is nothing ~
Here's to our new health and life!
