Surgery Monday-Thoughts
So, the day is almost here. The day where my life will take a different path, a healthier, better path. I know I need to do this, the past couple days I actually thought maybe I shouldn't do it JUST because I will miss the taste of certain foods. That scares me that i am that obsessed with food. This week I have stuck to mu liquid diet fine, watching my family eat whatever they want. I survived. So I CAN do this.
I have many emotions flowing: anxiety, nervous, excited, hopeful.... Two nights without my babies will be hard but I know I need to to heal.
My life will be changed forever. In many ways for the better and I am trying to focus on that. I just have so many things running through my mind, most of it is probably the unknown.

hi dream, I\'m feeling a lot of the same emotions. I\'m three weeks behind you so we can help each other deal. Don\'t worry about missing foods. it\'s going to be a whole new ballgame. You\'ll have a whole new relationship with food. Plus, eventually, you\'ll be able to eat small amounts of stuff you like, i think, right? let us know how you\'re doing when you can. Victoria
Hi New Friend,
Reading this journal entry made me tear up because you are right, our stories are very similar. I have done good also this week cooking and watching my family eat things that I can\'t. I have stuck to the liquid diet quite well and have been able to eat some great vegetables too.
I was feeling the same way you were a few days ago and I found that it helps to take some time to you, talk to someone who is there for you or express your feeling to your spouse. My husband is in law enforcement so it was hard for me to get to talk to him but I made him find the time for me.
I know that you can do it just like I know I can do it. I am glad that you were able to find me on here and please keep me posted. I wish you all the best and just remember how much better you will fell in the end and how much healthier you will be to be here longer for those babies.
