so scared

i know by reading a lot of the posts it is normal to feel scared, and think you might not make it through, but im not only scared im so bloody angry with myself, why did i let myself get to be like this, if only we could realise what we are doing to our bodies by stuffing our faces full of crap. but then when we get things wrong with us like diabeties, high blood pressure and other probs, we then have to take such drastic action to try and get our life back on track , is it fair to put our families through all this , i had my 11 year old son tell me that he is scared i might die, how do you promise him that you will be ok . when you dont know that for sure yourself, i had felt ok for the last couple of days but it has really hit me today that im having this op, in a few days, sorry to rant but just needed to get it off my chest, as i feel i cant say how im feeling to my family incase it upsets them , they have all been great but i know there worried sick for me ... is this mood due to panic or lack of bloody food..lol i hope i feel better tomorrow emotionally.....:cry::cry::cry::cry:

Hi, your only having the same thoughts and feelings as all of us postoppers. You will come through it and look back and think what an amazing thing you have done xx

i really hope so xxxx

 

[dottychic]

I should imagine anyone having surgery has these thoughts about not getting through it. I think we feel worse as like you say we blame ourselves for letting us get to this stage! I always try to think that if I dont have the surgery they will not have me for much longer anyway, being morbidly obese means just that! Try and stay focused on the fact you are makingh yourself healthier and doing something about your problem rather than just getting worse. You are prolonging your life and shortening your misery. Good Luck....you will soon be on that loosers bench X ((HUGS)) X

Hi Tracy
I agree with all of the above, we all have mixed feelings leading up to the op, you will be fine it will be over before you know it, and joining the losers bench i will save you a seat next to me as i have just joined it. xx

met my surgeon today

well today i had my pre op assesment, and also met with my surgeon mr whitelaw,he seems a very nice man, and i felt very happy with him doing my op as he has been doing it for several years.

well i cant believe i have only 6 days untill i have my op on monday, it has all been so quick, only 6 months from start to finish. im still feeling nervous about the op and for the few days after incase of leaks. but hopefully it will go ok

might not be able to have op monday

:cry:i feel so ill, i think i have a chest infection, the drs have put me on antibiotics. been taking then for 4 days but still feel crap, just my bloody luck, i get my date and im nearly there and now i feel ****. things like this always happen to me. i feel like someone up there has it in for me ..lol i wish i could take honey and lemon to loosen the phlem but cant do when on pre op diet..:cry:

 

[galm37]

Oh Tracey, I do hope your better by Monday.

You could still do the hot lemon with sweetners & paracetamol, that shouldn't affect your pre-op diet.

You probably feel worse with the worry of Monday and it's hit you harder coz your on the pre-op diet as well.

Get some duvet days in now, hot drinks and lots of sleep x

 

[ladylite]

Tracey keeping everything crossed for you, agree get under that duvet.

 

[tiarasandtantrums]
