weird feelings

My surgery day is Tuesday and I feel weird. I know I am ready and I am looking forward to getting through the surgery, but I feel sad and teary. Don't even want to eat and that is strange in itself. Maybe this is part of a grieving process for the change, even good change is still change. I just wanted to get this off my chest. Sheryl

Hello Sheryl, Hey I can sympathize with you and I realize just like you that "even good change is still change" and we do have to greive the end of an old life syle. I am excited for you and the courage it takes to embrace a new endeavor. I have my surgery tomorrow and have gone through an array of thoughts and emotions...and yet tonight I feel remarkably calm and at peace...Good Luck to you and may your journey be smooth... God Bless!!! Elisa

Sheryl, I so know what you are feeling. I have been on a 3 day clear liquids only. Today wasnt as hard but the first 2 days what a emotional rollercoaster. Can't run to food for comfort I was mad sad questiond what I was doing all of it. Today I am much calmer.

Hey dearie, I think all of us do that. I have shed so many tears over so many small things that I finally had to realize that it was all of the changes and NOT just me. Its the weirdest feelng for me to know that I will be a different woman in just a few short days. I will no longer be the woman who is ashamed to eat in public or ashamed to try clothes on or to buy a bag of cookies for my kids. I will be able to stand tall and proud because I know that I have done something about my weight. AND its not just something small we are all underataking here, it is a huge feat to accomplish, we are trying to lose (in my case) additional people that we carry on our backs. We will suffer emotionally perhaps more so than physically. SO you aren't weird you are NORMAL as NORMAL can be lovebug! GOOD LUCK TO YOU and hang in there! Its ok to cry too, sometimes it helps me!!!!! Love you all on here, Stephy
