Calm before the storm ???

Ok, I'm 5 days pre-op and feel too calm. I tell myself it's a sign that this is meant to be. Come Monday morning, I am starting a new way of life. I am not fooling myself into thinking this is a cakewalk but the rewards of hard work will be bountiful. Did anyone else feel so calm?

Hi J C, I am calm at the moment to, but I still have 25 days til my WLS. I just hope that I will get there without a panic attack. Hugs, Mo doin' the 25 days and a wake up happy Mo dance

Hi maureen we share the same day!!! I go in at 1pm , what time is your wls? Hugz mary I will be praying for both of us this day!

I know how you feel. I am very calm also. My surgery is on the first also. I can't wait to just get it over with, and move on with healing and learning a new way of life.

Hi JC, My surgery is also on Monday. Holy crap! I am nervous some of the time but I have also been eerily calm. I am more excited than anything. I feel as though my surgeon has prepared me and I have prepared myself so nothing will be a surprise. I am also not fooling myself and I do realize that there will be pain and changes. As much as we tell ourselves we are prepared I don't think we can every prepare ourselves for what if will feel like exactly. So anyway, all that said, I think it's okay to be calm. I think it will be hitting closer to home over the weekend when I do my bowel prep and will be pooping my brains out Sorry, hope no one takes offense to the poop word After that it all done with then Monday will be the start of my new life. I can't wait. Hang in there and take care, Jill

Most of the time, I am calm too, at least on the outside. I do have a lot of nervous energy though. I mostly am ready to get going!!! Waiting is tough! Everyone reacts to stress differently. It is just our natures in action. Most of us will probably look back at this period with some amusement because the things we are most anxious about undoubtedly won't be the things that turn out to be the most challenge!

I don't think that there could be a such thing as too calm. Totally at ease maybe. That's great that you are at such peace with your decision. It also shows that you are ready to start your new life. I'm pretty calm, but my date is not until the day after Mo's. Whitney Angels: Lori and Va

NO storm on the horizon... Just calm and peace... Happiness and JOY!!!! You're calm because you are at peace with this decision.. Positive thoughts and energy are your best tools for recovery!!!! Good for YOU!!!!! ALL OF YOU MARCHERS... BE VERY PROUD...
