I think it's totally normal! I was lying on the hospital table, thinking "i wonder if I should tell them I changed my mind..." then I woke up in recovery!!
Honestly though, it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I feel like a totally new person! Everything in my life has changed. I couldn't be happier. :)
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.

Mixed emotions!?!? I think I was the proverbial ping pong ball! But the night before I just finished cleaning the house, went to bed, slept well and got up the next day went to the hospital with my son and bing bang boom I was pouched! I am not sure why I got so calm the night before but it happened and I am so grateful to my guardian angel.

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
Thanks! I'll probably do the same night before surgery and hope to sleep well! :)
