i have a date
i know i dont post on here that often but i called my surgeon yesterday to tell them that im all hooked up with my cpap and she was like great hold on let me give you your surgery date. holy crap, are you serious? i have to say i kept my composure throughout the phone conversation but i was useless at work after that. my brain is flying in 300 different directions and part of me feels like this will never happen. will i by fluke accident get pregnant? will my surgeon quit his job? will the hospital become infected with swine flu and shut down? i know many people who have succeeded in this journey and i also know a few who have failed and i cant help but ask myself, what can i do to make sure i dont fail? im ready to change my diet (although im still unsure of the things i will give up forever, i have heard bread, white rice and pasta, sandwiches, anything with sugar in it, chocolate... this is the one that im sad about, the chocolate) im so ready for this lifestyle change but i wonder what if i come across something that i think is ok and its not and i jeopardize it? maybe im being irrational? i have an exercise plan in place. i have the support and the help... but i feel like im still missing stuff. any advice? my surgery date is july 20th. even saying it makes it seem so weird!
Congrats on your date...It does feel weird to say I actually have a date instead of saying oh i am waiting on insurance or whatever...Anyway congrats..

I had similar worries before my surgery. I had all sorts of irrational thoughts that came with the whole "how could this finally be happening after 200 pre-op tests that seemed to be going nowhere? what if something ruins it for me?". As for the food, I had those worries right up to my surgery and a few weeks after my surgery, and then the urges pretty much stopped for the bad foods. Now when I think of bread, I think of how easily it seems to get "stuck" and just how uncomfortable that is.
anyway, good luck!
