Got my papers yesterday

I posted this in whats happening but wanted to share with those who didn't make it into whats happening today, how I am feeling about my upcoming surgery I got my papers from Mo bariatrics yesterday. Everything is now setting in. I AM going to have this procedure. A little fear and anxiety is now setting in along with the joy and need to change my life. I know I can do this but part of me says what if you can't? What if you do this and you can't stop eating and make yourself deathly sick?? I know I am overreacting but I didn't get fat by eating healthy. There are days when I already have planned what I am going to eat the next day and can't wait until it comes. I love to eat out. Is that all going to be gone? It's a kinda scary thought. Food, in which I have centered my life around for so long is no longer going to be the center of my life.  Maybe this is a silly way of looking at things but I think I am already morning the food I will no longer be able to eat.  Is that not sick???  Hugs Michelle

yeah it may be sick Michelle but if so we are all a little sick. I think all of us morned the food for a while. I finally realized that i had ate probably everything there was to eat several times so what was there to greive over.It certainly hadnt been my friend. It was more like the school yard bully. always there taunting and teasing and telling me lies. So it was with adult strength and determination that i turned my back on it and now only eat to live. Instead of living to eat.

You will be alright just sit and have some long talks with your self. lol

 

What papers from MO Bar. are you talking about. I am pre op to and have the same fears. They are normal to have I know.

I have the same thoughts and fears, don't feel bad!!!  Hang in there, how soon is your surgery?

 

Hugz,

Hi, Michelle, I know what you're feeling, but remember you are not alone. I am also pre-opt. and worrying is  part of the not knowing if you will be successful. Girl, it has to be better than what we've been going through. I hope and pray after the surgery we will not be so all consumed about the food, only about being healthy and happy.I will be here for you anytime you need to talk. We all need to know that someone cares and I do!!!!!You know, there's a saying,"there's nothing God and I can't accomplish" and I truly believe with God all things are possible. Let's be FEARLESS together what say you? Love, Cindy
