Surgery Thursday August 18 and scared!

I had mine on may 11th 2005 and it went well you will be nervous I was as a matter of fact the morning i went to the hospital i told the dr I dont want to know nothing just get it done. they gave me something so i didnt feel that way and i never new what was going on after that. Woke up and got up and started moving . I do want to tell ya to take your mesherments I didnt and it pays off to do it the day you go in . Also take pic every month so you can keep track of your loss. I felt great until a week afterwards then i got to thinking what did i do to myself. But after 2 weeks it gets better all the time I am now 65# down and feeling great so good luck and if ya need anything let me know Tammy

Hi - My date is the 22nd. I spent one entire day last week in tears. I was so scared that I would die and leave my 2 children motherless. Then, I found this website and started reading all of the posts. I am pretty much just excited now. I can't wait to be on the losing side. I started the liquid protein diet today. I did ok - didn't cheat, and right now I can honestly say I am NOT hungry - even though I felt hungry most of the day. One day down - 5 to go. I am not looking forward to the bowel prep day next Sunday, though. I have found that my emotions are a little raw. I talked to my best friend today and misunderstood what she was saying and dissolved into tears. We talked later & got it straightened out. I am not usually a crier. If I think too much about my husband and children, I get very emotional. I am sure all will go well - it is kind of like hormones - just get emotional for no real reason. This is my first ever surgery, so I figure that is why I am weird. Best wishes and prayers for an uneventful surgery and a quick and easy recovery. See you on the losing side!!!!!!!! Hugs, Laura
