Just approved......

Hello~ I was just approved for surgery and am starting to get scared. I have been reading everyone's profiles which helps. But I am still starting to worry about life after surgery, the pain, the food situtation, basically everything. If anyone has any kind of calming words it would be so appreciated!!! Thanks, Tara

Tara, Hun first off CONGRATS!!! Now you are on your way and it is very normal to be scared and excited all at the same time. All I can say is do not worry about after, just get yourelf through what you are doing now and know that what every comes your way you will be fine. I know it is hard not to worry about all those things, trust me! I am the worse, you can ask anyone here, I worry about it ALL. but learning that as you go through the unknown things have a way of working out that is for sure. Make sure you take the time to relax and do some deep breathing, it sure helps with the worries and stresses through this! You can post anytime so if you thing of anything please ask away, most of us have been there and if not then others learn from your questions as well. I wish you all the best! Debra P

CONGRATS ON YOUR APPROVAL!!!!!!!!!! .........Dont worry so much...the discomfort that you hear about after surgery is only temporary. As for food choices remeber we are all here for you and can recommend food choices for you

Tara, CONGRADULATIONS on the approval. As far as life after surgery just remember a few things. 1st What sounds like little food WILL fill you up. The honeymoon period where you are not hungry will help. 2nd While some have pain some don't so you will have to wait and see. Don't sweat it just go one day at a time. 3rd Always Always keep in mind the goal at the end of your journey. The healthier better you. The one that can do things you couldn't before.
