Omg! Omg!

[purplefluffything]

Omg! Just had nurse call me from Whittington to arrange my pre assessment I'm so so scared now it's like I definatly want the op done but don't want to go through any of the operation to get to the other side :cry: I'm having some weird emotions right now I'm happy & over the moon but just scared..
The assessment couldn't be at the worst time of the yr 7th December so I suppose that means pre op diet over Xmas never mind I thought turkey was good for dieting I'm sure a little wld be ok on Xmas day..
Oh & the nurse said as long as everything is ok with me my op should be 4 weeks after, which is early January I would say . Mr sufi said it would be January .
Thank you for sharing this special moment with me..:grouphugg:

That is brilliant news, I know from my experience that once we have the pre-op date, we begin to focus on what's going to happen and it can get pretty scary....

and no-one is going to pretend the actual process is nice.....but even after everything I've been through, it's worth it pet. it SO is. To see the pounds dropping, to get into smaller clothes,... to feel something like normal and not a freak-show....

...and you've waited a long time for this. Now is YOUR turn. Huge hugs.

I suggest this to a few people because it helped me:
write yourself a list of everything you hate about being overweight, and everything you hope to gain from being slim.......

do an AnnieT style 'bucket list' of all the things which the new slim you will be able to do, that being overweight has prevented you from doing...let your thoughts run riot!

...then you'll see that it's worth it!

and so are YOU!
Big Hugs again. xxxxxxxxx

Fantastic news hun! I know how exciting it is - I found out yesterday that my op date is 21 Feb! Couldn't stop grinning yesterday, and I know I'm going to go through a rollercoaster of emotions between now and then. My mum said I'm weird for being excited about undergoing surgery but I told her it's not about the op it's the great life we're going to have afterwards that I'm excited about!
I was 40 in Sept, and now I really do believe life will begin at 40!
So pleased to hear someone is up on cloud nine with me!

Woo Hoo!!!!!!

Thats great news Diana!!!!!

 

[purplefluffything]

Hi Karen yes I'm definatly up there with you it will be nice to go through it with friends here at the same time.
Karen your not weird at all.
It is almost positively the life after the op we are excited at, yes it's exciting getting the op done but it not exciting like blood thirst it's like Xmas as a kid it's new it's yours & your going to look after it, we are oblivious to the pain & surgery part of it.
Chat soon flower.

Hi Andrea thank you for being here encouraging me
Andrea due to how I'll iv been this past summer until now waiting just under five weeks for assessment then another 4 weeks for surgery! I'm just about getting there with the recovery of my most recent surgery.
It's amazingly close in my opinion but maybe it's because I'm always busy with my other hospital appt
& thinking of Xmas..
Thank you huni for being here for me xx
