I am the only one that have cold feet before surgery? I still have two more visited to my doctor but the closer it get the more scared I get. I am trying to get in the habit of not drinking when I eat, start with the shakes I am going to have to drink. I still eat two -three times a day. I going from that to almost nothing. lol Everyday I just question my self and pray that I am doing the right thing. I keep reading story about the pain! Worried about how long I have to be off from work. Some people say they took off the hole 6weeks. I hope I don't have to be out that long. I only have two more visits and I only lost 8pounds is that normal? Me having cold feet is this normal? responds will be helpful Thanks!
Take one push of the pain med that you get a pusher with right before the first walk and every walk after that only gets better. You might not even need pain med the second walk. take your make up and groom yourself and shine for the nurses and docs. You will feel better and so will they.
and for petes sake don't worry about the liquid intake after. Your body is going to tell you quickly and you will remember in short order. lol Rolf.... ok not so funny old timers eh? I see that i need to promise to be nice. lol ok. I will.
really it is a great tool for a lifestyle change where we can only talk about the other wanta be diets we started and never kept up with.
good chance it will go smoothly. I was told once that the only thing to fear was fear itself! March on \
Good Luck, a wonderful new life is waiting on the other side.
