4 days until surgery! Wow ~ the time is getting nearer! I am liking the Optifast and I am drinking lots of water. Anybody at this stage who has had surgery go through any mixed emotions? I am nervous, excited, determined and maybe it's not too late to back out thoughts!

Yay! You are so close.

I had all kinds of emotions and even when I was still in the hospital I was a emotional mess. LOL It is normal. One minute I was like.. "I got this! I am going to kick are!" the next minute I was, "Is it going to hurt? What will it be like after? AAAhhh Abort abort!"

You will be great and get ready for the losers bench.

I feel exactly the same. One minute I can't wait for it to happen and then I worry what it will be like after. I'm ready. I won't abort. LOL

Congrats; so glad you're liking Opti. I did, too.

I had mixed feelings all the way through and had to promise myself i could back out right up until they wheeled me into surgery, lol. Throughout my pre op I was both terrified to have surgery and terrified they might deny me surgery. I was excited too. It really is a weird time, lol, but hang in and you'll get through.
