48 hours pre op
Feb 24, 2008
Well my surgery is in2 days. I have vowed to myself to do only liquids and Advocare these last two days. When going in for the consultation 6 weeks ago the Dr. put me on protein shakes then, so I lost all me pre op dies in 3 weeks, and having to wait 3 weeks until the surgery. It has been a long 6 weeks.
I was feeling super excited for the longest time, when people would ask me if I was nervous I would always say "no more excited than anything" ...Well I am nervous now, not only for the surgery but the aftermath. I always have a huge fear of failure in what ever I do. My thoughts are starting to go through my head.. What if I totally suck at this and become one of those statistics of where WLS doesn't work. I'm even having fear of failure thoughts for my husband whose surgery is the next day. He's not worried. or at least hes not indicating that hes worried. Shoot I worry enough for the both of us.
Still excited though, I guess this is normal to have these thoughts but don't know.

1 week to go

We started this process last May, but due to insurance restrictions were denied and had to wait to enroll into a different program. Since reenrolling we went for seminar, got approved within 2 weeks and have surgery scheduled for a month later. We were put on pre-op diet at seminar, I had to lose 20 and my husband had to lose 50. We are soooo sick of the meal replacements.
I now have exactly one week to go, and I am starting to get nervous, I told a friend it is like waiting for your wedding, so much to do and plan before going in.
