A little anxious

I have my physc evaluation today, then a nutrition class at 8 am tomorrow and then on Monday a one on one (insurance required) with my nutritionist. That is all I have left. I am hoping the paper work gets sent in at that point and by the 17th, the date of my surgeon consult, I will receive a surgery date. I was told to expect the end of July...very beginning of August. Feeling a little anxious today. Not sleeping well at night because I start going over all the things that could go wrong to keep me from getting this surgery....wish I could just turn off my brain! Keep me in your thoughts, please, Blessings, Lisa

If it helps you at all - it is completely normal to be anxious!  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

P.S. What is that a picture of in your avitar??

Tammy...I was wondering the same thing about the avatar.....you have to look closely....you will see it!!

WE ARE PUT ON THIS EARTH NOT TO SEE THROUGH EACH OTHER.....BUT TO SEE EACH OTHER THROUGH!! SAVE THE EARTH....IT IS THE ONLY PLANET WITH CHOCOLATE!! 

Thanks Tammy!  I just feel like everything is moving in slow motion!!! I chose that photo because I liked the freedom the image reminded me of. Freedom from this struggle, freedom from the weight and health issues, freedom from the shame and negativity. I am ready to soar and her wings remind me of that every time I see the photo! Thanks again, Lisa

Lisa, just as Tammy said, this is normal. I am sure everything will fall into place.

Hang in  there, and keep us posted on  your progress.

Hi Lisa, I remember having those worries and feelings.  Try to just take deep breaths and be...distract yourself with healthy things...like walking, cleaning, etc.

When I'd get anxious, I went for a walk...even if it was 10pm.  The tv was on with awful food commercials and my mind would be racing and instead of eating and worrying, I went for a brisk walk. We had a hot tub at the time (we just moved and left it behind)...and if it was late at night and my mind was keeping me up, I would take a dip in the hot tub to relax, too. Like everyone said, things will work out.  It's just the waiting that drives us crazy! BREATHE!!!! Paula

You are in our thoughts.  We have all been through it.  You will overcome this.

Hi Lisa...you know...everything that you are going through is normal....I am going through the very same thing....my surgery is July 30 ...all I can compare it to is the very last weeks of a pregnancy........I cannot wait to wake up from the surgery....and then I am scared to death because I have 4 awesome kids and a great hubby *****ly on me.....It is so hard to keep the "what if's" out of my head...especially with my 88 year old mother...not really understanding why I am having this surgery....or exactly what is going to happen during the surgery...(although I have tried and tried to explain it to her).......at first my husband was dead set against RNY...until he saw how much pain I am in (back)...and then my PCP helped ease his mind a bit by telling him that it is exactly what I need........EVERYBODY is pulling for you.....when those thoughts come into your head...please PM me....we can fill each other with positive thoughts and peace.......you will be fine.....remember....when it gets close....and you begin to get nervous.....REMEMBER HOW BADLY YOU WANTED THIS IN THE VERY BEGINNING.....REMEMBER...THIS IS FOR YOUR HEALTH SISTER!!!!~love and peace~laura we are put on this Earth not to see through each other....but to see each other through..... SAVE THE EARTH..IT IS THE ONLY PLANET WITH CHOCOLATE!!
