The freak out begins!

[rainbow27]

Well tomorrow I am to start my two week liver shrinking diet & I'm terrified of the op on the 16 I know everyone goes through this it's not so much the anaesthetic I'm scared of but if the bypass leaks or if I get Ill after it.. I keep thinking I should manage this myself I could join weight watchers again!!! I'm sure how I'm feeling is so natural but I feel like my emotions are all over the place I feel close to tears sorry just need to get this off my chest xx

I think of we weren't a little anxious we wouldn't be in the right place mentally for the op's we are to have we are anxious to succeed this time as much as the possible problems that could happen. You will be fine and as the others have said there are enough of us here to support you when you need us.
As for returning to weighwatchers I am planning to keep going my leader and the other members know what I am about to have done so if I lose a lot of weight fast as we should do I hopefully don't make anyone else feel bad as they aren't on a normal diet. I feel the support and advice will help me stay focussed and on target as my nearest WLS support group is an hours drive away in Bournemouth once a month. So whilst they may not be 100% useful in understanding the bypass the health and diet guidance should help I hope.

It's perfectly normal to feel this way. I kept telling myself I must be mad to opt for major surgery when I wasn't ill. My mind played lots of tricks with me in those final two weeks, no doubt trying to get me to cancel the surgery. But I just looked at the photo of myself at my heaviest and knew this was my only chance for a new life. And here I am two weeks post op and 32lbs down! Yes there are risks but I've come through it with no complications at all. A little pain on occasion but it's nothing I can't cope with. I'd go through it all again tomorrow if I had to.

Good luck with your pre op diet... its all for the greater good and I am sure you will do great. I am sure these next two weeks will fly by so use this time to prepare well for your return home and try not to worry too much. (easier said than done I'm sure hehe!!)..

Exciting times flower xx

Just what I needed Xxxxxx

Hi Hun I have been following your thread and have to say you have nothing to worry about, to be making the decision you have tells me that you are ready and have been through so much all ready.
Any weight loss programme be it exercise, diet, surgery or a combination will never work unless you have a support mechanism I know I am new to this forum but I can already see the great community we have to help us
Be and stay positive we are all in the same boat and here to support each other
