Everyone Is Different

Here I am.....4 days and a wake-up from my surgery. Everyone is asking....ARE YOU EXCITED?? "YOU MUST BE NERVOUS"....."ARE YOU READY?" "ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN HANDLE IT?" I appreciate your "concern"....but....where were you when I was losing the 10%? Ya'll were the ones eating candy around me...offering me pies, cakes, cheesecakes, etc. Can I handle it? That is a good question...let me tell you half-way through the procedure. I will make sure I have Dr. Singh wake me up and give you a call You must be NERVOUS - Me? Nervous? Why would I be nervous? I am only going to be lying on a cold metal table with tubes down my throat and A ROBOT is going to be operating on me....remind me not to watch i-robot on Tuesday night..... Are you READY? - I think so. It has been a good year and I am sure that I am as ready as can be. Are you Excited? - I AM WITH YOU ASKING ME ALL THESE QUESTIONS!!! It is enough to make a persons BP go over 200!! Anywho, I understand their concern....and I am thankful that people ask about my health and wellbeing. I try to give them a whole bunch of info as to how they can pray for me....and spoil me after the operation As far as I can tell....I have invited about 50 people to a support group if they really want to support me in this.....when they find out it is a wls support group...they back out thinking it is for them.....ROTFL!!! Ugh.... I am happy to think that I have accomplished a goal. that I FINALLY got a goal!! and it was a REALISTIC ONE at that!! But, I am not nervous....yet. I am not thinking about it.....yet. Out of sight and out of mind....I have to get through tomorrow....and by "avoiding" the Nervousness....i can focus on my health.  When I DO get nervous...I reaffirm that it is going to be OK....and then I go play basketball. I have been playing basketball alot lately. Here is an unrealistic goal.....ready?.......I will be at next monday's support group..... and maybe even Thursday's (may 1st)

Just wanted so say take a deep breath and exhale slowly.  Remember that once you get thru this next phase.  You will be starting a new leaf on life.  GOD BLESS  Best Wishes                                                           BrendaLeePooh
