Title: 34 Days to go.
Post by: lilacwoman on December 27, 2010, 09:09:33 AM
Time seems to be speeding up and now instead of surgery being sometime in the future it's only 34 days to go and now I'm actually beginning to get apprehensive about the surgery and if I will get any problems from it being a long op.
Tomorrow I start seriously getting back to fitness and have to diet off a lot of comfort eating.

Yes, I remember being exactly where you were just three short months ago.  Apprehension is common, but you should try to keep positive about your outcome and think about all the things you will be needing over the next few months as you heal.  The last month for me me was a fog--just one day at a time prepping myself psychologically and physically for the big day.  Before you know it, your day will come and go then the real fun will begin!  :laugh:

It's good to see that you are thinking about your physical fitness but, as a note to those seeking surgery in the future.  Start your fitness routine well in advance of your date as it takes a good three weeks before your body actually sees any benefit from a fitness routine--especially if you have been sedentary for the most part of your life (This is not to say that you have been sedentary Lilacwoman).  But, like they say, some is better than none.  Best of luck to you on your day and stay strong and positive and all will be well!   :)
