Surgery in 2 days and feeling really weird...

I am feeling so many feelings.  All of a sudden I look at food and want all of it.  I feel like I am starving even though I am not.  I keep thinking of all the fast food in the world...and you know what?  I never eat fast food but now that I am getting WLS I feel like I want it.  I guess this is what they call head hunger? So, now I am on clear liquids for 2 days and I know it is gonna suck but that's ok.  So, my surgery is Jan. 2 at 7:30 a.m.  I really hope they don't puch it up to like the afternoon because I just want it done already.  I am nervous, scared, happy, not really beleieving it yet...des that make sense?  I feel like I am goign to walk in there and they are going to cancel it on me.  I have no clue why I feel like that but I do.  I am crying now and feel crazy...what the hell is wrong with me.  Well, this was meant to be a happy post but now I just feel weird.  I am crying over food? How sad is this now?  lol.   Well, I will write some more later and after surgery.  Thank you to everyone that has been awesome especially Barbara and Jane for all of your awesome advice!! 

What you are feeling is normal. The majority of us go thru the "last supper" syndrome before surgery... mine lasted two weeks :-) I wanted to eat every and anything I could thinking I would never be able to enjoy food again. Of course being post-op I now realize I can still enjoy food and eat things I use to previously - I just choose to do it in more of a healthy way. Its always a rush of emotions before surgery... I was a wreck the few nights before thinking about all the 'whats ifs'. But I was also thrilled thinking about how different my life would be post-op! When surgery day rolled around I was completely calm and relaxed.. no worries then - just looked forward to waking up and starting my new life. What a great way for you to start out the new year with your surgery! Congrats to you!

Man..You and Me sound like the same person!  The day of was bizarre...Almost like I was watching someone else..still after a week or so, Im like...Really? I mean, did I? Uh...okay, I definitely did...What the heck was I thinking? And its all going good now. Its a strange process...But its a great and life changing choice! Go forward with faith and do lots of fun things for yourself!!

You are normal.  Mourning food is something you will probably deal with for a while, but it makes sense.  For years and years a lot of us relied on food for so much - it was always faithful and friendly and comforting - and now it can't be those things anymore.  It's almost like losing a friend.   And you are facing life-changing major surgery.  Yeah, pretty good reason right there to be a bit jittery and on edge.   But you're going to be fine and do just stellar.  In 6 months this will seem like nothing compared to how much healthier you will be and how much better you will feel in your skin.  Just wait until you drop sizes and get mobility and health back.   I pray that you have a complication free surgery followed by a smooth, easy recovery.  May your post-op life be filled with improved health, wow moments, and friends to be there for you through thick and thin.  Congratulations on your upcoming surgery and here's looking forward to welcoming you to the loser's bench TOMORROW .  Now drink those clear liquids, looking forward to the rest of your awesome post-op life!

I feel exactly the same way you do!  I am having surgery on the 3rd.  Best of Luck to you! Kristie
