I am getting scared

Surgery in a week....and I am scared.  I don't know if I am making the right decision.  I don't want to die on the table.  I don't want to give up all the good food....but I am too big not to have it.  What should I do???

PS.. i have lost 8 pounds and I am trying to get this stupid ticker to show it.  I have it changed in my settings but it will not transfer to the one that is attached to everything.  Help please?

 I am in the same boat as you are!  The same day and everything.  I too am scared of the unknowns and wish I had done something else to prevent having to go through this.  But to me it is time to take control and have the courage to face the challenge ahead.  I found out that I am not giving up food but I am gaining a healthy attitude towards food so that it does what it needs to and not any more.  We can be partners on this hard weeks journey.

Thanks Bonnie... To be partners it this journey would be fantastic.  I wish I had a positive attitude like you do.  I try to self talk like that but it is really hard because I am such a food addict.  I always seem to think I am losing out on things..  Are you having a sleeve procedure?  Do you have to do a liquid diet before it?  I am struggling with my diet.  I understand that we have to do it to be healthy for the surgery but I don't lose weight easily that is how I got into this mess.  You know what I mean?  Keep in Touch I am going to send a friends request. 

 Yes I am receiving the sleeve.  I am on the liquids for a second week.  It is very difficult.  I have also been over weight all my life.  I also have changed for one addiction to the next.  
I notice this post on the vsg site it might help put it in perspective

Just calm down and try to RELAX!  You haven't gotten this far for nothing sweetie!  I just got home from mine yesterday.  All went well.  You are only giving up food for a short time.  You can eat again eventually, just not the proportions you did before and just have to be more cautious as to what you are eating.  I promise you, the past two days I have had my family cook and eat in front me and I never even wanted a bite!  Good luck and look forward to meeting you on the Loser's Bench!

 You and I had our surgeries the same day and have about the same WL goals. Thats greatness :)

Yes it is!  How did your surgery go?  How are you doing first wk post-op?
