Singing: It's the final countdown....
I went into the hospital today for my pre-op exams and got my surgery time 11am but I have to be there at 9am. So I didn't do well with the pre op diet and I have forced myself into a liquid diet because surgery is a week from today. I couldn't control myself these last weeks, I had family visiting so of course we had to go to all the best restaurants in NYC, then at work we had a surprise audit. These events were not conducive to my diet AT ALL. So I started on liquids yesterday and now all I can think about is all the food I can't eat anymore. The thoughts keep coming at me randonmly and they hit me like a ton of bricks, I can't even sleep well with all the anxiety. I swear this is the classic self sabotage I have always done to myself but hopefully VSG will help me end this vicious cycle.
My close friend had VSG 5 months ago and she keeps assuring me that month one will take away all the anxiety I am feeling but to prepare myself because after the third month the hunger starts to creep back.
It's really hard for me to accept this is actually happening, I keep imagining something terrible will happen that will prevent me from getting the surgery. As if I don't deserve it or something.....anyways aside from all the above I am trying to be as positive as I can! I will probably freak out next Monday but I deserve this opportunity to change my life and I can't wait to reap all the benefits of being a happy and healthy person.

Hey yall! I feeling those jitters as well! The good thing is I don't have to do the 2 week pre-op only 48 hours before surgery clear liquids! I think that's going to be hard enough lol!
I am so happy for you all! Let's keep each other posted since we are sleeve sisters!
PS. The anxiety meds sound good to me., I got some xanex from the doctor already!
