Need prayers for strength

I just started my preop diet today and having surgery on June 10th. I am anxious and nervous and excited all in one!! My emotions are all over the place !

I want to succeed soo much with this journey and be able to be a success story with my before and after pics on here also. That would be a DREAM come

true!!!! But I know that I am a food addict and have to take one day at a time. This forum has been such an inspiration to me and am looking forward

to being an inspiration to others like all of you have been to me!! Please just say lots of prayers for me to have strength to do this. Big commitment and

one of most important in my life. I am 57 and never had surgery in my life of any kind but I AM GOING TO DO THIS!!!  I know we have never met but

love each and everyone of you for being here. I know this probably doesn,t make sense(lol) but feels good to get out how I feel. Hope I didn't bore any

one too much!!!

Hi! We're in exactly the same boat! My pre-op diet starts in the morning and my surgery is also June 10th..and I have the same feelings as you as well as far as being anxious/nervous and excited. I'm also a food addict and I know this week is going to be rough. If you ever want to talk, please message me. I work from home so I'm usually always around! :)

Thank u and I sure will and please feel free to message me at anytime also!!!

You sound committed--and motivated....get ready for the big ride, girl.  Jump in; the water's fine.  Be ready for hard work and new found/developed discipline.. and, if you will be willing to commit to this program daily..success and victory.  Hope is a wonderful thing, and what has given me a new life worth living.  I "hope" the same for you!  Bonnie

Thank u so much and yes I do feel like I finally have hope!!

You both only have to get thru one week which should be a breeze.

I too am 57 and wish I could say I haven't had any surgeries.  You can do this.

That is what I say every day to myself-that I can do this with Gods help!! Thank you!!

Recommit every day.  The eagerness you feel now will turn into hard work.  But it's SO doable with the surgery and with what you've learned so far.  Just keep reading, keep learning, KNOW your plan inside and out, be prepared for the unexpected, and recommit every single morning.  Good luck!

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement!!!
