6 more days

I have only 6 more days to go before "Im on the Losing Side" I can't wait, but then I think what am I getting myself into! Is this normal to go back and forth thinking like this?? By the way I sent Kricket my before picture on Monday...how long does it usualy take for them to get it posted? Not that I like the picture...I actually hate it, I was just like everyone else and ran when the cameras came out!! Nancy

I can't speak for anyone else but I too had second thoughts or 3rd and 4th thoughts should I really do this or should I just try one more diet. But I am glad I didn't back out and the worst was the waiting for the day to come. I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have much pain from my incision and really haven't had a lot of complications since. Not that it has been all smooth sailing I have had a couple of bad times but they pass and you soon forget them. So don't worry you will be fine and I think you are very normal for second guessing what you are about to go through. I can't answer your question on the picture because I haven't even figured out how to send a pic. in the first place. I am kind of computer illiterate. Cindy

Depending on how behind she is, it can take Kricket a couple of weeks! Did you get an autoreply back from her when you sent it in?? 6 DAYS.....HOLY COW!!!! It will fly by!!! It is totally normal to have second thoughts......when I found out I was approved I was like HOLY SH*T what have I gotten myself into???? But it all works out how it is supposed to......The morning of my surgery (they used to make us check in at midnight there) I had a high white count and they said I wouldn't be able to have surgery......They told me they would let me know.......I was terrified and sad and prayed....I just said "God if I am supposed to have this surgery great, but if it gets cancelled, I know it wasn't supposed to be" Well right about when I was done being scared they started to wheel me down to the OR waiting area.....I was like "Are you sure I am supposed to be going.../???? They said I probably couldn't have surgery......." The guy and lady said well they told us to come get you so here we are.....I was like asking God "are you sure about this???" I was really second guessing everything......lol!!! The anthesth guy came down and he said he decided since I didn't have a sore throat or hadn't been sick, he would go ahead, they would put me on antibiotics anyways! So to make a long crazy story SHORT.....it will happen if it is ment to!!! I so want to meet you before the surgery.....when are you coming over the river again???? I would for you to come here....Let me know please!!! Take Care Jesi

Morning Nancy, What you are feeling is normal. Will keep you in my thoughts & prayers, I won't be around when you are having surgery. See you on the losing side Carolyn

Hello Nancy congrats I hope everything goes well I will keep you in my prayers good luck to you keep us posted Laurie

Hi Nancy, Yep you're as normal as the rest of us!! (let me think about that for a minute) LOL Just think in a short time you won't be running from the camera!! (or the scale) Nut

Nancy, I almost did not go through with mine. I had second thoughts right up until the moment I walked into the OR and laid down on the operating table. I kept telling myself, "I can change my mind if I want to". But I went through with it. Can't say I am thrilled with my results yet, as I still am eating practically nothing, as my stomach hurts all the time, but in time, I am hopeful I am happy about it. jean
