17 days….
17 days until my 1st consultation.

Wait!
I am going to my first support group meeting on Wednesday
evening. It’s a great start and a great way for me to get accustomed to the
specifics of the surgery through my health plan. I feel like I am waiting in
line at Disneyland and it seems like it is taking FOOOOOREEEEEEVER. Before I
know it I will be on the ride and it will be over faster than I know. I will
look back and the wait won’t even be an issue.
I have started trying to incorporate post-op behaviors into
my daily life. This way the transition won’t seem so severe. I have been using
smaller plates and bowls, and making sure I am getting enough water in. When I
remember, I try to eat my proteins first then the rest.
As much as I want to, I am holding off on buying any post-op
supplies as I have heard over and over again that your tastes change. I don’t want
to have a bunch of useless protein.
My posts feel sort of boring to me right now… they will get
more exciting once I have a surgery date I hope J
Xoxo,
Jess
yay! you are getting close :)
ReplyDeleteThe time keeps ticking away, a little over 2 weeks til I get to start the 2 month jumping through hoops process. Once I have a surgery date, it will be the only thing I will be able to think about... not that it isnt already haha!
DeleteSupport group is so great. I learned so much while I was going and I even met one of my best friends there!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE support group too. It can be simply invaluable. Like Beth Ann already said...I met a really great friend there as well.
ReplyDeleteLet us know how it went. I'm so excited for you!
