Hi everyone!
I hope you are all doing awesome on your personal journeys towards recovery. I've been out of the program for several weeks now and have never been better! I plan to run through it once more in a month or so when things settle down in my life. As of right now I'm reading From Panic to Power by Lucinda Bassett and find it a nice refresher.
First of all I am SO proud of myself because I will be headed for surgery next week and I am handling everything SO well. I'm getting my gallbladder out sometime nexdt week -- not sure the exact date yet. I'm only 26, I'm in really good shape and eat great (thanks in part to this program) but due to family history of gallbladder disease it has plagued me for a year or more now!
I find that I am looking forward to my surgery with a mixture of excitement and aprehension. I've had a c-section so a gallbladder removal compared to that is super easy, especially since they do it laproscopically (they don't have to cut you open just go in through several small holes). But they will be putting me under which makes me a bit nervous! For my caesarean I had a spinal block but was awake. However it's not my first time -- I had my wisdom teeth out in 2006.
So I'm just a little bit nervous. But I'm doing my relaxation tape at least once a day, I'm trying to stay positive and just be super gentle on myself. I typed up a page of positive affirmations tailored to me and my situation, and I'm going to print it out and read it all the time!
I'd love some support from the community!
