Surgery Date Aug 12th!!!!!!

Hi everyone! I CANT BELIEVE that I am actually going to have surgery in 20 days!!!! This is just too sureal lol. The best way I can explain it is going from "eyoore" (winnie the pooh): " Oh, I'ma allllways going to be fat... I have no life... everyone has more energy than me." "I'm never going to get approved for surgery....." Then going to "tigger" "Yep, I am, I am, I am... happy bouncy tigger is bouncing around all over the place" lol YES! I'm loosing it lol. I'm a combination of sooooo excited to finally have "hope" that I can get healthier and happier. AND nervous as all heck about the proceedure. lol. just surgery in general. No need to go into detail about why I'm having surgery (that's on my profile). I'm just so excited to "Bond" with a few of "us" out there who are probably experiencing the same "excitement and concern" as I am lol. From thinking EVERY meal is my LAST meal.... to visualizing myself sick in bed starving to death post surgery because I can't find a protiene drink that I like lol. I am SO fortunate to have a great friend 5 months post op, who's doing great and is by my side 100%. And also a nursing student so she's thrilled to spend time with me at the hospital lol. And let me tell ya, she's very assertive lol. I'm having an open RnY 100cm. I'm 210lbs 5'1 and have very high cholesteral (even with meds and diet) and diabetes II. Looking forward to getting to know you all Tami

Congrats We share the same date! I can't wait to be on the losing side

Good luck, Tami! Desi

I am so happy you have a date

Congratulation on your surgery date. I'm going to have surgery on the same day. Let us know how it goes for you. Wishing you all the best. Take care, Schatzel

Thanks for all your responses HUGZZZZZZZZ Yup, just 11 days for us to go and we'll be off to a new start on life! Saying goodbye to our "old" lives and starting to live our "new" ones. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster lol! I've about stuffed all the food I can into my mouth with "last supper syndrome"... and am actually sick of food at this point lol! How are you all feeling otherwise? Hugs Tamela
