JUST BUMMIN B4 SURGERY TOMORROW

Hi, I'm just kinda down in the dumps today, my surgery is tomorrow, and instead of being nervous, I'm kinda sad and I dont really know why. Has anyone else felt this way? What should I be doing differently?? Thans everyone!!

HI TERRY WHY ARE YOU DOWN IN THE DUMPS? YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE FOR THE BEST I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU NICOLE

Aren't you spending the day running to the can? You shouldn't have time to think about anything except the bowel prep and how wonderful your life is going to be post-op. Maybe deep down you're a little sad because something that's been a part of you for so long, isn't going to be there anymore. Just think how happy you're going to be when this is all over and you've recuperated. Keep us updated on how you do. Is someone going to come online and tell us how you did? You're in our prayers. Joanne

Guess I'm a lucky one cuz I didnt have to do any bowel prep, just nothing to eat or drink after midnight!! Just not as excited today as I thought I'd be, I'm sure I'll be very excited once I'm on the losing side!!

I know how you feel. I was so excited before surgery and the day before I thought I would be so excited I couldn't stand it but I wasn't. I just felt strange and couldn't decide if it was dread or fright. I thought to myself is this the right thing? So many emotions all swirlling around at once. Don't do anything different, just feel what you feel. It will be ok.

Terri- You are completely normal with what you are feeling. I cried and cried the night before my surgery!!! I was so sad. I was scared and nervous but part of me was very sad. Just remember that you are in VERY good hands. When do you have to be at the hospital tomorrow? Will someone be coming on to let us know how you made out? You will be in my prayers!!!! Janet

Janet, I have to be there at 6:00, my surgery is scheduled for 7:30. My mom, boyfriend, and his son will be there with me tomorrow, flyin solo on sat, and home on sun. He will try to post once he gets back home to internet access. Thanks for the encouraging words. I'm sure I'll be fine!!

hello i also felt that same way this past monday i wasnt exited but very down in the dumps i was affraid i was doing something wrong and what if i couldnt do it but i just said i have waited this long i will do it and make it work for me so hang in there and you will be fine my thoughts and prayers are with you god bless and ill see you on this side with the loosers lisa

Terri, Hun I would think that what you are feeling is normal. You are already starting to mourn food, it has been with you so long that it is hard to let go. Hang in there and once you start feeling better it will all pass. ~hugs~ I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts for tomorrow. May you have a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery. ~hugs you~ Take care Debra P

Terri, It's normal to feel sad and happy and scared and a bunch of different emotions at the same time... I was sad and mourned food the day before, scared the night before and nervous, but happy at the same time. Good Luck! You will be fine! Hope you have a speedy recovery! Gia
