Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Kristie, What was your days menu like for you to lose your 10%? I am struggling with what to eat. I eat low fat, smaller portions and no fast food or bread. I am stalled. Yesterday I ate " normal " we get a meal at work. For breakfast I had a slice of honey wheat toast with peanut butter on it. For lunch I had a taco salad no shell and a small salad with three bites of cheesecake. Mid afternoon I had a protein shake (prosolution strawberry white chocolate (to die for)and for dinner a small plate of spaghetti. I lost 2 pounds, go figure.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Kristie, yup, i did that too. then I just put myself on autopilot and trusted the decision i had made two years ago and had spent the two years looking forward to. You'll do fine. Trust yourself that you have prepared well and made the right decision for yourself.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 That's quite normal. It's like when you're getting ready to get married, or move out of state to go to college, or any other life-changing event. You are excited, you know it's the right thing, but WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING?!? Like I said, it's normal. I'd even go farther than that, and say if you AREN'T nervous, you aren't paying attention! Now, having said that, my advice is to accept it, and do whatever fits with your personal model of spirituality. This means prayer, or meditation, or going for a walk in the woods, or sitting outside at night watching the stars, or just listening to the birds cuss each other out. I know that for the last couple weeks before my surgery, I was on antianxiety medication, and that's fine. It was a tool that helped me sleep at night, and I only used them short-term. You're about to start a whole new life, and it's exciting but scary. That's okay, and you'll be okay! hollotwomn@... wrote: > Did you guys ever question yourself right before the end, I never > thought I would but today I have just been thinking, did I make the > right decision??

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thank you Eleanor it makes me think I am at least normal. I have to be truthful when other people before me would say they were panicking or scared I was thinking " they don't want it as bad as me " or " I wont be like this, I know that I want this " . Yesterday I had my very first anxiety " panic " attack. I was at my sons game and it was hot, people were screaming, cheerleaders were cheering and I broke out into sweats, got a temperature, stomach felt like I was going to ralph. I literally went over to some grass and laid down it was horrible I was shaking. I have never had surgery so I really don't know what to expect. Thanks for taking the time to let me know this is normal.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Kristie, You are in my prayers. I know you will be just fine. Tomorrow it will be all over and you will be on the losing side. I wish I lived closer to Fremont, I would definately be there for you, but I am sending you good thoughts and prayers for your speedy recovery. I look forward to hearing from you when you get home.
