Congrats to all!

Woo Hoo to all of us who start our new lives in Dec. I'm 39 days pre-op and feel like I am going to die of anxiety. I'm pumped about my surgery, yet I am scared too! Anyone else feeling this way? Stupid question, I'm sure we all feel this way. How are you coping? Lemme hear your advice........................ Krysti McCord Snook, TX

Congratulations to you!!!! I am having surgery on 12/16, 3 days after you!!!! I wish you a successful and speedy recovery. I can't wait, plus I am nervous so I am eating just a little bit more, but I plan on hitting the gym. Congratulations. Fran

Fran - I just found out I am scheduled the 16th also! Good Luck to all! Janet

Congrats to you Krysti! I am a list maker...list of things to eat, list of things to drink, list of things for hospital, list of things to buy...it really helps me to check items off. I also like to read over the profiles of the successful people here on Obesity Help and know that I will join them soon! Best of luck to you! Pam

Yes, I'm excited too. To help prepare myself I have stopped drinking pop and caffenine. I practice taking sips of water. Bought some comfortable clothes to wear home from hospital. When I eat I try to tell myself s l o w down. Also I have elected to take additional counseling after the surgery to help cope with emotional eating. Wishing you the best for your new beginning Daniele
