Tomorrow is surgery day. Tomorrow I get the gastric bypass surgery I've been waiting for for the past two weeks. I am happy and nervous. Happy because, well, I get the surgery. Nervous, because I know what pain is ahead. The pain really isn't that bad. Nothing I can't deal with really. It's more discomfort. That's how it was with the last surgery anyways. The gallbladder surgery.
Whatever pain I have to endure, I will. I've been very cognizant about my new eating habits and life after this surgery. It is serious and it's time for me to get serious. Since the gallbladder surgery, I've changed my eating habits a lot. I've been eating mostly veggies and fruits, but I still eat meat, only smaller portions. I did have a day where I was craving Red Vines. Strange thing to crave, huh? So I bought a package and ate it over the next two days. After that, I was fine. I know that I can't do that after surgery, so I will substitute that craving with a juice or some type of physical activity.
I'm actually feeling a little anxious today. I had to take a Xanax. That's a biggee for me - taking something to calm me down. In the past, I would've medicated myself with food. I don't feel like I'm switching from food to drugs. No way. I'm just saying I'm aware of the change. Big step for me.
I'm feeling a little "blah" right now. Indifferent. Tired. Gotta go.

ReplyDeleteHey Debs, thinking of you and hoping your surgery went well. I must say your smoothies sound intriguing. I love wheat grass shots, and some of yours look similar.
