Thanks so very much to PenPen for responding to me and putting some of my fears to rest. You are absolutely right when you say that I can't imagine what after surgery will be like because I can't. I try, but I can't. It is almost like this decision has just taken over my life. In a good way. I really truly felt that I would go absolutely crazy after surgery if there was something I want and can't have. Okay, I'm talking pizza here. That food is probably my all time favorite food....and I am so worried that I can't have it. But having reading some other blogs I know that with the proper preparing, I can.
We had to laugh today because I shared with my husband that I chose November ninth for my surgery but how stupid that was. He asked me why and I said that I was off this year for Thanksgiving and I would probably still be on pureed foods....well he didn't miss a beat. He made the sound of the blender and said, don't worry, we will fix ya up. What is weird is I probably couldn't have picked a better day for the surgery. I won't be tempted to over indulge and make myself sick with all the helpings. So, yes, I think I made a good choice after all.
All in all, today is a good day. Of course the night is not over. Will keep plugging away, posting my fears and hoping you don't get sick of me. Thanks for all the support.
Hi Judy! I'm just now seeing this. You're so welcome and I'm so excited for your upcoming surgery. That is a little stinky that you can't enjoy that Thanksgiving meal but no worries, you'll be enjoying it next year and you'll be a lot smaller while you're at it. Ha! Oh, and you will be satisfied with a very small portion of food but you'll feel like you've gone back for seconds and dessert, too! Tell your husband that...you'll be really laughing it up next year.
