Well its me again

I am nervise and scared all at the sametime. Excited and anxious, because the date is almost here July 6th. I am up 5lbs and I have to get the weight off or my surgant will not do the surgary. My body on the other hand is against me, it wants to keep the 5lbs and gain more just so I can't have surgary because its scared. I know this all sounds crazy, I just am a ball of nervise. I just keep telling myself that I can do this, I can do this..., I can do this, Ican do this,I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS! It has been a long hard struggle climing up a very very steep hill, and I am finally near the top at the scarist point but once I reach the top,(my surgery) I will be able to take a gaint leap off that hill and begin again with the new me, the me that I am always ment to be. Good Luck to all! Take Care, God Bless! Love, Snugglebunny

you CAN do this! This surgery is a dream come true. Get the junk food out of the house . Eat protein and fruit and veggies, limit your carbs. Take vitamins and drink water, this is very important for your recovery. Get outside and walk, even just a block if that's all you can do, but do it. It gets easier as the days go by, but you have to do it. You will love the new you. Hugs Linda

I was exactly in your shoes before my surgery also. I had gained 5 pounds and my surgeon was not happy about that. He even mentioned to me that I may not be able to have the surgery, but I promised him I would lose those pounds and I did. I did not have the "Last Supper" that so many have mentioned. Just remember that anything you can do now to help with your recovery (walking, fat reduction, ect.) will be such a great help to you and your surgeon. Take Care, Janice
