12 days to go...
Jan 27, 2010
Hey OH fam! Well I have 12 days to go before my big day. I'm starting to get my ducks in a row, so to speak. I started shopping for some of my necessities (protien drinks, etc.) and studying the diet instructions post surgery. I've completed my pre-registration at the hospital and my last round of blood tests and EKG. Now all I have to do is count down. On a different note...As I was sitting in the hospital waiting for registration, I suddenly had a panic attack
. What the HECK am I doing. I was sitting next to this young lady who was on an oxygen tank and walking with a cane. I could tell that she was either in pain or simply could not breath. I thought to my self, she's having surgery because something is very wrong with her. I'm having it for simply vain reasons. What if I don't wake up. Who's gonna whoop my son's butt when he doesn't do his homework? I was so stressed, that when I was finally called in the office, I couldn't remember my address and I kept stumbling for answers to questions I know to. I guess she knew that I was nervous, cause she mentioned it (and in my mind I said....Uh yeah, I'm about to rip open my stomach and cut my guts up) and then she told me that everyone gets nervous when they're registering. For some reason, that made me relax and I felt better
. I thought back to the lady in the waiting area and I realized that I deserve this, I've earned it and I need it! I have to protect my health and pre-op prep was my fourth step toward my goal. (1st: realizing my &^% was fat 2nd: deciding to have WLS 3rd: changing my eating habits)Smooches, for now....
