Sooo many feelings...

Its Monday night, the 24th, my surgery is Wednesday, April 26..THE COUNTDOWN has started. I never knew so many feelings can exist in me at the exact same time. I am happy .. sad.. nervous... excited... anxious... down... up... you name it and that's how I am feeling. I guess this is kinda normal right? A friend called tonight to see how I was doing and I told her I was crazy! Am I? I started the prep tonight and now I am worried its not going to work! then what? do I do it again?

Hi, I had my rny exactly one week ago, and I remember feeling just the same way that you do now. For me, I was most calm the morning of the surgery...my family couldn't belive it. My advice is to reflect on how long it probably took you to make this decision, and you are making it for a good reason-to keep YOU healthy. I was in no pain after my surgery, it was a few days later that I wasn't feeling great, but you have to remember, it is major surgery! Stay positive, check in here often and picture your happy, health, gorgeous self six months from now. PS-it does work, I have lost 16 pounds in a week. 308.5 - starting process 291 - day of procedure 275 - today 185 - goal (I'm 5'11) Hugs to you!

I'm having the same emotions..... you are not and try not to worry about your prep not working. Just try and relax as much as you can and think positive about ALL of it. I wish you all the best with surgery on Wednesday!

I guess I was lucky, once I made the decision to have the surgery I was pretty peaceful inside. Surgery was on 4/11. I wasn't totally prepared for the emotional rollercoaster afterwards. So when you get home, be kind to yourself, recognize that there are other feelings probably coming your way. However, you will be on the other side and that puts things in a different perspective.
