2 Days Left till Surgery Nerves!

Surgery is in about 48 hours, everyone in the entire house is asleep but my head is racing, IM HUNGRY, and I just cant sleep. I've been "low fatting" for 2 weeks and NONE of those foods are making me full. I feel like I am going CRAZY. I just want the next 2 days to fly by and perhaps some of my sanity will return. I want to say the hell with the whole thing just as badly. I really never thought it would be this emotional pre-op/ Well, thanks for reading my vent. I just had to say it somewhere.

Kimberly, we all did and felt the same way. I can remember the day before thinking why am I doing this, I love to eat, I am very happy being fat and I don't really want to give up my favorite foods. Then I walked into my children's room while they slept and then I realized it was for them. I need to be here to raise my children and they are the only reason for the surgery and the best motivtion I could have ever had. So your not going through anything we all haven't felt, just take note your not alone in this you have all of us and we understand. Just keep up the great work and you will get the results and health we all deserve. If you need to vent feel free to e-mail me directly. Pam 314/130

Kimberly Congratulations your going to do great I know my nerves went crazy I was scared but I knew it was the right thing to do and I would do it again in A minute but what your going thru is normal Best of luck to you Michael

Hi Kimberly I remember my preop days very well. And hang on tight, this is only the beginning of the emotional rollercoaster. It certainly doesn;t stop there. But just try to relax and imagine doing something you haven;t been able to do in a long time. - Like just recently I went on a trip and sat in the seat, on an angle, with my legs crossed. That was awesome. So just try to relax - you'll do great!! Sharyn

Kimberly I just wanted to let you know all the feelings you are having they are COMPLETELY normal I went thru all the emotions before my surgery EVEN when they had me in the O.R. and I was so nervous I almost backed out they had to take me back to the waiting area and get my family to calm me down, then I went back and went thru it and it's been getting better everyday. So just say a prayer and put it in the Lords hands and all will be fine. Jim

Thanks for the encouragement Guys! I feel like I am going crazy. Today was a little better, it seems to set in at night. If I can survive tomorrow all will be well. Its great to know that others also feel like a bunch of loons!

I'll be thinking of you. I am 2 wks post-op. The first two days in the hospital weren't fun. Because there's no place like home. I am so happy I did it. The scale is moving to places I haven't seen in long, long time.

{{{hugs}}} Kim..You will do fine! Just hang in there. Im so happy for you that your time has come for surgery. I will find out my day soon. Please let us know how you are as soon as possible. You are in my prayers and I wish you the best of luck!!! Shannon

Kim, You can do this! 6 months from now when you have lost a ton of weight you will be so thankful that you toughed it out Good Luck to you Sandy
