How's everyone feeling?
Thought I'd check in and see how everyone's feeling with surgery dates rapidly approaching... I, for one, am kind of freaking out... I'm worried I'm going to fail at this like I've failed at all of my other attempts... I'm worried that if i don't do as well as other people I've seen, then i'll consider myself a failure... I'm excited, too, of course, at the possibilities before me... but most of all I'm nervous...
I am excited and nervous myself. I have PCOS and I worry that it won't work for me and after I lose weight, my PCOS will kick back in and make me gain it back and I will have failed. I try not to think about it so much. My hubby and I talk about all the positive things that will happen. We are planning a vacation for next year on a cruise again, my 3rd, and his second. We want to get certified in scuba diving and take most of our excursions scuba diving, and doing things that I couldn't do pre-op because of my weight. PCOS sucks and I want MY life back. It will not take my life!
Hey Raphie,
I am mostly feeling anxious - not about the surgery itself but more so about afterwards - will I be able to deal with not being able to eat the same kinds of food as my family especially when eating out or what if I can't get all my water, vitamins, protein, exercise, etc. in and stuff like that. I know I will do fine but I think everyone gets thoughts like this now and then. I am mostly excited and wi**** was already July 10th!!!
Hang in there -- we will make it!!!!
Hugs,
Donna
