Topic: Surgery on the 12th - NERVOUS!
Boy, am I nervous! I can't believe I start the liquid diet tomorrow. Surgery is only 11 days away. Is anyone else out there scared and totally freaked out by doing this? My emotions range from excited to scared to death, and I find myself questioning my decision to do this. But yet, I know there are consequences for not doing it, too. I am so worried, I have even broke out in a total stress rash...any ideas on how to stay calm during the next 11 days? I am trying hard to concentrate on the positives, but it is getting difficult to do that. I've got to stay focused, but man, I am nervous.
Topic: RE: WOW Sept is our month!!!!!!!!!
Amen to that! The girls are taking me out for my last pre-op "Hor-rah"....I think I will be having me a margarita and doing some line dancing! Let everyone get one last look at the big girl out there on the dance floor! I will be 1/2 the woman I used to be when I go back there!
At first I thought it was the "last night out" syndrome. Actually it's more like, celebrating the fact that all of the hoops have been jumped through... All of the paperwork is completed and I am finally ready for the ride of a lifetime.
By the way, just some encouraging news to me...my girlfriend had the surgery in January 2006...she just called me yesterday to tell me she fit into a size 4 pair of pants...yeah, you saw right, SIZE 4!!!! Before I would be all jealous, now I'm just all excited! From a 28 just 8 short months ago. So, the possibilities are ENDLESS everyone. Yeah us!!!!!!!
Take Care Everyone!!!
