Did anyone else feel like they weren't really having surgery, even after they got their date? I have wanted this for so long and never thought I would actually get it, and now that I have, it doesn't seem real!!! I can't quit explain it. This isn't how I invisioned this at all, I thought I would be jumping through the roof!  I wonder if it will ever hit me? Maybe when I go on the 2 week diet???? IDK maybe I'm just weird. lol

I totally understand!  My surgery is in 32 days and I am waiting for it to really sink in that I am actually going through with it!

Yes, I totally get how you're feeling.  I am so busy there's no time to think about it but then when I do it's like "Eh, there's lots of time" ....except there really isn't!

I am more afraid of flying than the actual surgery!!! Between flying, going to another country for the first time, and having surgery, I believe it will be a VERY stressful time. Maybe that's why I'm holding back all of my feelings now.

Hi there and congrats on your upcoming surgery!!  I totally felt that way and still do at 11 weeks out!  This whole experience has been surreal....watching the scale go down every week...watching my clothes get looser and looser....seeing how little fills me up etc.  It is just insane really.  I was NEVER successful at weightloss until now and I guess I still just can't believe it.  Maybe after I lose it all and maintain for a while it will all sink in??  Anyway, it's a great experience for sure and I wish you nothing but the best!!

 Aww thank you so much! It's so funny looking back how I "thought" I would feel, and how I am actually feeling now about everything. Maybe it will never sink in!!! lol

I don't think its sunk in for me still. I sometimes I don't even think I've had surgery since I bounced back so fast. I wonder if I'll finally adjust when my weight is steady. I'm not sure. I'm still in the cloud like dream stage. lol.
