pre-op emotions

i'm working so hard on pre-op requirements. although i'm able to work around all the appointments, thinking about the surgery seems to consume me. i'm very excited about being thin, healthy and mobile, but sometimes i'm anxious and a bit nervous about rearranging my digestive tract. i've started increasing my protein and h2o, and started walking on the treadmill some (not as much as i should, i know). the committment is there, but the emotions ...is this common?????

I started to freak out two weeks before I had surgery. I couldn't stop eating, and I felt like the surgery would end up cancelled because I was pigging out. I was scared that I would die and the morning of the surgery I was being wheeled to the OR saying to myself, what the hell am doing? I made it through though, and you will too.
