Hello all-starting pre-op diet this week in preparation for surgery 12/2. The next few weeks have a MUCH greater-than-would-be-usual amount of activity and stress. Wedding/family reunion, HUGE paper/presentation for end of semester, and short-handed at work. Know I can get through this diet thing but less sure of my ability to do so without biting someone's head off or losing my fragile hold on my sanity. Need encouragement to get through this as gracefully as possible.

    Self care is important. Make sure you get adequate rest. It might also be helpful if you have at least one friend or support person you can "vent" to as needed!

    Best of luck. I'm right behind you with surgery on 12/15. You can do it! Keep reminding yourself why you are doing this. It will be worth it.

    Good luck with upcoming surgery! And...try to work out stresses in a positive way (like playing racquetball and pretending the ball is your coworker). Helps me! :smiley:
