help!!!

Hi all!! Well my surgeons office called yesterday and moved up my surgery from May 23 to May 18....which is next week!!!!! I am nervous I'm not going to do the right thing after the surgery. I dont want to mess this up. I'm afraid I'll be the one person not to lose weight, or I'm afraid I'll eat the wrong things and always be sick, or I'll be out and have something a throw up...I want to be very careful, and do the right thing. I feel very overwhelmed. Also, for some reason I had it in my head that I have to clean and organize my whole house, which I planned on doing next week, but now my surgery is next week!!!! my re-scope is thursday and my pre-surg testing is friday and then i work sat and sun and mon and tues and then Wed is the 18th.....well at this rate my nerves will make the ulcer worse, and then I wont be able to have the surgery..... oh boy I am rambling..... thank you for listening, any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. love, Janean

Janean, Hun I can not give you much info on that but I wanted to wish you the very best....~hugs~ Call me anytime if you want to talk hun....... Debra P

Debra, Thank you sooooo much for your support. I will give you a call this evening. Love, Janean

Dear Janean: Don't make yourself go crazy....Take it a easy. Make sure that you have taken care of the most important items. You need your positive attitude at all times. I had my surgery June 22, 2004; i'll be one year next month; and have only lost 49 pounds. The weight loss depends on the individuals body; my body decided not to lose a lot. I'm not mad just making adjustment on my diet and exercising. When the time come, you will learn what to eat, and how to eat it. So, don't go crazy, just keep up the good work and above all, keep a positive attitude. I'll have you on my prayers from now on. Love Sandra.

Sandra, I did sound a little crazy for a minute....once I got to work and wrote everything down I need to get for the hospital and when I get home I felt much better. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. Love, Janean

Hi Janean, I know how you feel, I was one of those people who thought I wouldn't lose the weight after surgery. I have ate things and they have made me sick, it's ok you learn from that....I've gone out for meals and had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom to get rid of it, it's ok really . You have to know that things like that may happen, mine happened with chicken for a while.....now I can eat it, but don't be afraid of trying things. Just choose the healthiest option that you can. Good luck with everything honey.....I'll keep you in my prayers. Karry 311/190/167 goal
