One week till surgery. ..

Jul 23, 2014

And I'm freaking out!  I've been on my pre op diet for one week and it's going well but I can't stop thinking about the foods I wish I was eating. I've found myself standing at the fridge opening containers and jars just to smell the contents and live vicariously through my nose. I'm starting to get stressed at work since my boss is putting a lot of pressure on me to finish before I go out on fmla. My boyfriend's mom is currently staying with us until the 3rd and she had the RNY a few years back. She's helpful for the most part but she keeps telling me how I'm going to be sick and not want to get off the couch. 

On a positive note I'm not feeling malnourished from my pre op diet and I've lost 10 lbs in 1 week. My primary doc cleared me this morning for surgery and I have my pre surgery review with my surgeon tomorrow morning. It's really sinking in now that this is really happening and my life is about to change forever. I'm a big mixture of emotions right now. I feel like I'm going to MISS food. I feel like I'm going to lose a bear friend as lame as that sounds. On the other hand I know this is right for me to do and I'm excited to begin my new life.
