Exactly two weeks to go!
Dec 07, 2009
Well, two weeks from now, prayerfully, i will be laying in my hospital bed recovering from my RNY. Today I did my pre-op testing. Just some blood work and an EKG. I also had my pre-op class with the nutritionist and the RN. They went over some good need to know info. Let's see, how do i feel?!! I am really not sure. Excited? Sometimes? Worried? Most of the time. I guess i just can't believe that this is happening to me. I wanted this for so long. Is it really just around the corner? Really? Wow! I think this whole thing is just surreal. I think that is the best way to describe it. I plan on going shopping for my protein shakes, vitamins, and stuff for my liquid diet this weekend. Oh the liquid diet.... I am sooo not looking forward to it! I sure hope i can make it. I am trying to get a positive outlook for it, but i am just not there yet. I read other people's posts about how they are struggling with it and i am scared. No lie. I hear this is the worst part and it also shows your dedication to the lifestyle change. Well, what if i fail at it? Does that mean I will fail with the surgery? I know it really doesn't and I am sure that i will do fine, but i am soo nervous about it! UGH! I will definitely be visiting the boards and the site even more while i am doing the liquid diet!!Oh, and my other concern, what if i don't loose any weight on the pre-op diet? See this might not seem like a huge concern to most people but here is why i am so concerned... When i had my consultation with my surgeon about a month ago they weighted me of course. And i was like 6 lbs. less than i thought i was. Woo hoo moment. But, of course after i got my surgery date i went into "last supper" mode and ate everything like it was going out of style. I think Dr.'s scale was "nice" to me that day. I am not sure it is gonna be so nice on surgery day. I am afraid i may have gained some of the 6 lbs back and then won't be able to loose enough on the pre-op diet. Granted there is no specific number but i would like to be down 10 lbs.
