Bad mood pre-op
Today's not a great day.
It's day 10 of OptiFast, and I've lost 10 lbs. Actually a reason to be happy.
Had a great Mississauga Cawfee last night - lot of people turned out, and so many positive stories...
I should be happy, but
Monday is my surgery - I got bumped back from 10 am - 2 other RNY's the same morning for Dr Starr apparently.
I find I am absolutely out of any patience at all, at work, and am in a foul mood.
Things that I normally joke about and slough off as just people being people are bugging the heck out of me today.
Also, I have found that my emotions are closer to the surface since starting OptiFast. I'm headachy and irritable.
I'd like to think I'm not nervous about the actual surgery, having had so many, but I'm wondering...
I'd better get a handle on this before I alienate my manager, already shouted at him once today.

Awwww Gaby.... sorry to hear you're having a rough day. You're under a lot of stress with surgery coming on Monday and I think it's just finally gotten to you and you've had enough with the waiting, the Optifast, and the worry. Hang in there, friend. xo

You are not alone. I was a total beatch to my hubby. I felt like I was PMSing the whole time when I was on Optifast. And of course I did have my period and that didn't help. I really believe it was the way I handled all of the fears I had about the surgery. I remember laying on the operating table and I started to get teary with nerves. I worried about my kids, husband, and finally decided to worry about myself and started praying(not normally a religious person). When I woke up from the surgery I was so glad to be alive and have never looked back. Now I'm too happy if that's possible. Good luck with the surgery and enjoy a bubble bath tonight or a long walk in the nice weather.
Cheers,
Donna

You know what?
I think you are ALL correct in your assessments of why I was such a B*&% today.
What a great group you all are! Thanks a lot for the reassurance.
And some great suggestions about how to just chill out (love the bath idea)... after all, there are people suffering real torment and pain at this very moment, and what am I doing?
Wallowing, that's what.
Thanks, guys!
