3 more days!!!
on January 22, 2012 11:33 pm
 It is 0135 hrs and I am wide awake. I will have gastric bypass surgery in 3 days- I am a little nervous. I have read several books, blogs, and of course all of the pamphlets my surgeon has given me. I am just trying to wrap my head around this- I can't imagine not feeling hungry. I am always hungry. When I am at lunch- I am thinking about what I will have for dinner. I know that I have an emotional connection to food... how are my mind and heart going to handle "breaking up" with food?

Some people say that gastric bypass is the easy way out- I do not believe this for one  minute. I look at this surgery as a tool. I still have to do the work. This surgery will help my physical cravings and help decrease the amount of food I ingest. This surgery will not eliminate daily stressors or emotional baggage- that is still on me. 

Don't get me wrong- I am really excited about this opportunity- I'm just trying to start this adventure with eyes wide open.
