Hi Samantha, Yes, I am going through the same thing. I am trying to get every bit of laundry done, and all the cleaning and anything else I can think of before I go in. I think it is more to keep my mind occupied than anything. So far it isn't working very well! I am counting the days. I am going back and forth with the same emotions as well. I try to put everything out of my mind as I have done everything already and am just waiting... and I know it is not doing me any good to sit around and be an emotional yoyo, but I can't seem to stop it sometimes. I think we are being perfectly normal from reading others' posts. Good luck with your surgery, and keep us posted. Hugs, Deanna

Samantha, I think I may be as bad. I have shopped for everything I need 5 times over. I have gone over every conceivable scenario and tried to prepare for it. I have had my luggage packed since early January. I have cleaned the house twice and am thinking about doing it one more time cause a may not have the strength later. Believe me, I have great faith in my surgeon but I think I am trying to keep my mind off the food I am not eating because I am on a liquid diet now!
