Anxious for surgery
So my date is scheduled for Jan 15, 2014. I am nervous, excited, terrified, overwhelmed all in one. I can't wait to start this journey but seriously Jan 15 seems like so so so long away, anyone else feel like this that is having surgery soon?
I also need to loose 20lbs prior to surgery so I am 285 and need to be 265 and will start my full 4 week pre-op diet on Dec 15 but am already starting to drink my protein shakes just to jump start my diet. I just hope this all goes by fast and surgery will go smoothly!!
Anyone else have Jan 15 for a surgery date??
I got a 12/31 surgery date! So I will be a bit ahead of you.
I can relate somewhat. I am not terrified or overwhelmed. I have been practicing not drinking when I eat, microcutting and cheweingmy food to applesauce consistency, giving up coffee/caffeine/pop, eating with baby utensils on mini plates and bowls, and taking small bites for 3 months now.
Instead, I feel like one of those racehorses sitting in the chute. I am mentally kicking at the gate and thinking, "Let's just go!!!"
Notably, I was terrified and nervous and worried about a month ago. It is just an adjustment. I know mentally and physically what I need to do (I have been practicing) and now I just want to DO it.

Imagine having a HUGE bill due on the 15th...it would seem like it is looming. It is all in perspective, lol.
Excited for you!!
