UGH!!! NERVOUS, EXCITED, ANXIOUS....... :O ?

Hi Folks. Going through the emotional roller coaster. Feeling pressured and anxious right now, yet so dang excited I want to get up and run and shout that I am getting a new body soon!!! ? Weird. God, I hope I am ready!!!! ???? Anyone else feel this way? Hard to breathe one minute, and then feel like you are going to cry and then later, giggle inside and think......soon I will be buying clothes off from any rack I want......... Whew. This is stressful. ? I need to be but... I am too many emotions. ? What to do with them? I wish I had the ability to just get up and around and get rid of this worrisome/low feeling I am having..... I wish someone and God would just me out of this icky anxious feeling and give me that courage, strength, confidence, hope, commitment, positive thinking and enthusiasm I was experiencing more yesterday ( I had some moments of "whoa, what the heck......") but overall, I was ready. I am dealing with the whole thing too as to how I could have let myself get this far and how big I truly am. I am amazed at what I need to do now to get out of this situation. Looking for a special person(s) to enlighten and lighten my spirits and mind. Thanks! You are all #1 Michelle

Michelle, You are just experiencing human emotions... that's all. And you seem to be a very insightful person. You already have all the answers you just need reinforcement.. YOU GO GIRLLL.. Just remember there is never a path too far that you can't stop and go in another direction... And that is just what it seems you are doing.. Don't look at what you have done, don't even look at what you have ahead.. just look at the moment in front of you and be glad to be able to make choices.. there are so many who are not able to have a choice as to what to do for themselves.. it's too late. For you it's not. No matter which path you take you seem to have a good head on your shoulders and sounds like you are going in the right direction... keep it up-- Catherine

Hi Michelle! I know EXACTLY how you're feeling. I'm scheduled for surgery on 9/23 and am going through all the things that you described. One minute I'm so excited and just can't wait to have my new tool and the next I'm crying over the "what ifs". I have been keeping myself busy with shopping and anything else that will keep my mind occupied. It seems like everytime I think I can finally sit down and unwind a bit in front of the tv, there's a story about bypass surgeries or a new diet that I haven't yet tried. I've given up tv and am now doing my down time reading as many posts as I can and focusing on the positives. I know that I'm on the right path and I will have surgery but the waiting is taking it's toll. I know we'll both get through this and ultimately be happy with our decision. Keeping you in my prayers and sending a big hug your way! Julia

hi, I too am nervous,excited + happy one minute and then sort of down with the impact of all we are going thru....My date is 9/28 ...There are so many things yet to do. Pack, clean house, clean the refridge, etc etc,,,Thats how I am keeping busy....Luck and prayers to all....sandy

Hi, I too can relate to you. I am having my surgery on Sept 23 at Fountian Valley CA. I have been feeling all the same things you are. I think we are just normal. I have many of the same things to do as the last person to post, such as clean the refrigerator,clean the house, pack, water the gardens,etc. to keep me busy. I have to leave for southern Calif on Sunday, so I do not have much time. Love and good wishes and prayers are with you and all of the other Sept.people. Susan

I've been experiencing the exact same thing. My surgery is this monday...and one minute i'm really excited, and the next minute i'm crying and having an asthma attack lol... Dania

I'm just excited. I've had major surgery before so I'm not as scared. But I'm just so anxious. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that it's actually going to happen. It took so long to get to this point, it seems surreal that I'm going to actually loose so much weight and that there is hope for my health issues. IS IT REAL OR IS IT JUST A DREAM?? It's been over 26 years since I weighed under 200. I can't remember what it feels like and I can't even imagine it. My doctor's office called yesterday to reschedule - I freaked out. Turn's out they only wanted to change from 7:30am to 9:00am. I had to laugh when I got off the phone.

Hi all, I know exactly how you feel because I was having the same feelings up until the time they put me asleep. I had my LAP RNY this tue, 9/14. I came home today and so far so good. Remember you can do all thisngs through Christ. Thanks, Lisa

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with me. My surgery is Monday, and I'm not one bit at all. Maybe reality just hasn't set in yet? I'm excited and looking forward to the surgery! Go figure! We're all gonna do just great! Just keep thinkin' those positive thoughts and before we all know it, we'll all be losers!! Catch ya' all on the losing side! Renee

Your feeling the way we all are my date is 9/28/04 mine you just got a cold yesterday not a bad one but Dr. said need to get rid before surgery or it's a no go... Bumper or what??? I went to get my blood drawn today and ekg and chest x-ray before surgery now only meet with DR& Surgeon on Friday next then Tuesday is the big day... I think clean the house go throw your clothes anything to keep you busy I just bought a poker set and calling everyone over for pocker that will keep me busy for a while ... Your going to be fine my prayers with you Just keep thinking all the shoes and clothes we can buy soon lol Laura
