10 day freak out!!!

I have 10 more days til my surgery!!! I just wanted to let everyone know I lost 3 more pounds and now I am 322...and I have 3 more pounds to lose before surgery. However, I am certain I got those 3 pounds in the bag since for the last few days Aunt flo has been in town and well we all know how we gain tha****er weight with that....so I am praying that I keep the pounds off and I am soo nervous and excited at the same time!!! I am walking everyday over at this park by my house that has a track to walk around and I have been walking about 4 times and I am going to work my way up to 12 times eventually. I think I have been getting to excited and worried about losing the ten pounds needed before surgery that I am walking way to much because my body is feeling it now..my ankles hurt and my feet especially on the sides...IDK...Guess I have to get used to that until the feeling goes away. Oohh and how do I relax my husband for that day of the surgery?? and How long is the surgery suppose to be?

 be sure to drink alot of water.. it will help u lose the water weight faster... more u drink more u will get rid of... weird but true... and ur gona think im crazy but u will learn to love the pain that comes from working out.. its how u measure how well u did that day.. the exaustion even helps u sleep better an wake more alert.. it does go away.. but then u work even harder to get it back.. cuz u feel like u must not be doing enough cuz ur no longer in pain.. ankles and feet pain... u might need to look into more supportive shoes.. we tend to buy what looks "pretty" not for function.. but a great pair of walking shoes are so worth it.. an there are some nice ones out there just have to look for them..best advice i can give on relaxing hubby is make him feel useful.. write out a list of things he needs to do while u are in hospital an for when u first get home that way he wont feel lost an men do better when they have a task.. a project even.. if he thinks hes doing something for u even better... because he will feel helpless other wise.. an useless like hes not needed... an i dont know about u but untill i went for surgery mine hadnt spent a nite without me in 10yrs... so i made sure he had things to keep him occupied at home for the few days i was gone.. like a few movies i knew he would like... his cds. made him his fav food so he could just heat an eat... i had open RNY + gallbladder removal 5hrs 

I believe its a 2-3 hour surgery, the rest of the time you will be in recovery.

Tell hubby when they take you back to run over to the mall or a restaurant and grab some breakfast/lunch. That's what my Mom did - she was gone about 20 minutes - 1/2 hour but it was enough to get her mind off things (and get some coffee!) lol

You are doing great - those last 3 pounds should come off in the next 10 days - LOTS of water!

That's just what my hubby did too. Hershey had a starbucks in the lobby so he took his computer and had some coffee! Good luck to you
