Surgery in 7 days!!
My surgery is in 7 days and I'm kind of freaking out. I'm on my liquid diet right now so that's not helping at all lol. I'm an anxious worrier about everything so this is my natural state but I am doing this for a few reasons - obviously to lose weight, to hopefully stop these periods I'm having even though my ovaries were removed 8 years ago, and to hopefully lessen my migraines and for overall health.
So 2 out of the 4 are very much maybe's and I keep worrying about the what if's - what if somehow NONE of those things get better.
Gah!! These 7 days need to go fast so I can just get to the recovery phase and I can concentrate on the rules, making sure I get enough protein, water, vitamins, etc. I hate the before phase of anything.

Yah, for you for doing something good for yourself!!! Tomorrow I will be one week post-op so I really can't give you a lot of information for down the road, but I'll be happy to have you going down that road with me. Post-op I have been sore (to be expected) tired (to be expected) but I am getting up and about an moving. The best is yet to come.
Hang in there. I was so pumped up prior to surgery. I am so now ready to get that energy back and get thinks going down down down!!
I can see how it is nerve wracking. I am scheduled in a week also. My surgery was suggested because of horrible reflux and bile gastritis. The weight loss will be such a benefit for my arthritis, sleep apnea and pre-diabetes. I never would have thought of it. Now doing low carb will benefit me in a huge way!
