OMG! Is anyone else doing this?

OMG! Is anyone else going through this cleaning out closets, washing walls, cleaning base boards, moving furniture out & vaccuming every square inch of the floors, etc. I am doing more of cleaning now than what I would normally do for "spring cleaning". I don't know if I am just getting antsy & trying to stay occoupied or if I want to make sure everything is clean & in it's place {and I don't even know were I am getting the energy from either}. I don't know really why I am doing all this instead of my normal house clean routine. Is anyone else doing the same thing just before their surgery? My surgery is Sept. 29th { in 7 days } @ St. Vincent in Carmel, IN with Dr. Jones. I even had the kids come over for dinner & prepared this big 9 course Walton family dinner. I love to do dishes, but don't think I did all that just to clean up dirty dishes & all... LOL Oh my gosh.. I need some thoughts of yours if you have went through this? And why the heck am I doing this ... ?

Dear Jenny: I had WLS (lap rny) on August 1st. Dr. Rosemarie Jones was my surgeon also! I found that I had to have things in order before the surgery as well. I think it is a natural response. What a positive experience this surgery was for me! I was a lightweight, with 101 pounds to lose. I have shed 39 pounds in 7 weeks and am very happy with my progress. I am sure that you already discovered this little tidbid in the nutrition class, but WALK NOW! I got up to an hour a day prior to the surgery date and boy did it push me to the head of the class! I was released in less than 24 hours. My best advise to you is to do what Dr. Jones and the dieticians tell you. I have only vomited 3 times in 7 weeks and count myself one of the lucky ones. I pray that this journey will be a positive one for you too. Dr. Jones and her staff are incredible! If you need to chat, give me a shout! My e-mail is [email protected]. Take Care! Miss Beth

Hey Jenny, I feel the same way. I have actually made a list of chores to do the weekend b4 my surgery. We are scheduled for surgery the same day. Best wishes to "U"!!! I have been feeling like my house needs to be extra clean. Maybe it''s just anxiety and/or nervous energy. I know that I plan to buy myself some new jersey knit {t-shirt material} sheets and some extra pillows so that I can be relaxing in a fresh, fluffy atmosphere. Take some of that energy & pamper yourself. I may even get a pedicure before my day. Don't worry, what you're feeling is just nervous energy. You'll do fine, keep the faith.

hey my date is sept 29th i am very peaceful. it maybe has not hit yet.
