Post -op diet and feelings
Oct 01, 2010
Well I am now doing my diet. I must tell you it sucks. Totally no carbs and no sugar. I am really having a hard time with this, but I will make it to the best of my ability. The only sugar substitute I can tolerate is splenda. I never realized how few things are made with this. I am going to check to see if I can find yogurt made with it.Feelings sure do run from one extreme to the other. First it is the excitement! Then all of a sudden it switches to the whole mortality issue. The biggest one for me is the people you leave behind and how upset they will be. Then of course there is the worry of future problems such as obstructions and some of the other things that can happen. I know a lot of people worry about all the vitamins but this to me is such a small price to pay to be healthy. I also wonder about how many people out there that have had the DS and never post on this forum and how their doing. Then of course there are the little things that pop up in between all these. Like how much easier it will be just to take a shower. The fact that I will be able to reach my back and my ass with ease. Just little things like this make me giggle like a kid. Being able to get out of a chair without using my arms to help me get up. Clipping my toenails, shaving my legs anything like that that will not cause my stomach to squish together and cause a cramps. Of course there is being able to walk around the grocery store without feeling like you're going to pass out or having sweat poring off your chin and the checkout lady asking if you're o.k. Obesity just plain sucks and I would rather be dead than think I will have to live the rest of my life this way.
So the feelings I think a person has before surgery such as this is perfectly normal. I am truly very excited and can't wait to get this show on the road.
