The hospital just called to tell me what time to arrive tomorrow.
We should be there to register at 8:30 and the surgery is scheduled for 10:30.
I’ve been completely on program up to this point and doing well emotionally too. However, I’d be less than honest if I didn’t say I’m starting to feel nervous.
Our 16 year old daughter will be with us tomorrow and since it’s Valentine’s Day, I was wrapping presents to give her since she will be there the whole time with us. I couldn’t stop myself from thinking these are the last gifts I could ever wrap for her. Part of me knows how dramatic that sounds but it was a genuine overwhelming thought that was hard to let go of.
My highest weight was 541 ( April 2019), I’m at 450 now (probably less after this two week liquid diet I’ve been on). Even with that progress, I’m still deemed high risk. I know that this is the right thing to do...but part of me is so scared. On the other hand I know several people my size that have had gastric bypass and did just fine.
I don’t want to share that with her or my husband because I don’t want to cause them more worry then they already have. My poor husband would be lost without me. My daughter would persevere but would feel the need to be strong for him. Since I don’t want to upset them, I’m dumping my feelings on guys. I know I will shake this off....I just had to get it off my chest and out of my head.
Thanks for listening.
