Emotional rollercoaster

So my surgery is set tomorrow at 8:15 and I am an emotional rollercoaster. I am so rethinking this... I know that this is a great opportunity, and that it will be great for me. But things are just getting to me today..... like not knowing I'd have to be on medicine for 6 months because of gallstones. I am so nervous and scared... and I keep thinking I am young and healthy and if I just work at eating healthy and exercising more that I could lose this weight on my own.

I  don't know what to do. I honestly don't. I think I liked the idea of bariatric surgery alot more when it was unattainable... now that it's tomorrow... I don't know if I want to do this.  I am just so confused....

I think we all go through those thoughts before surgery !

 Hey!!! 

The way you are feeling is ok.  I was there 2 weeks ago when it was time for my surgery.  In fact, I had myself completely talked out of it about 2 days before I went to the hospital.  I was scared and nervous not knowing what to do.  

I really had to sit down and ask myself if this is what I truely want.  I thought about how my weight has affected me my whole life, how my relationship with food was out of control, how I was on my way to diabeties and just wanting to be there to watch my son grow up.  Then it became clear that I had to take charge of my own life and do what I had to do.   

I really don't think you will have any regrets once it's all over.  I wish you the best of luck.  Just rememer, you aren't alone in this!!

train the mind...the rest will follow

i just made that up now :-P

its understanable that you're scared, but just think how great you'll feel. Think how far you have come, im sure the waiting for approval or going on a prescribed diet wasnt easy but you did it...only a few more hours and it will be over. you can do it...this is your life time for you to become the hott sexy lady you've always been. the fear of the uknown will keep you in the dark foreverrrrrr and you dont want to be in the dark forever do you???? this will be the best christmas/birthday gift you will have given yourself...you can do it we're behind you 100000000 percent

youre rebirth begins in 12 hours and just remember take one day at a time, everything is obtainable and doable:-P

You two are pretty good.... Your both right. I have to do this. I don't know why I was such a mess yesterday, this morning seems fine.......

Except for the snow Ohio is having, all month we've barely gotten any and all of a sudden here it is, covering everything so pretty.

You're going to do amazing!

Well I did it..... I had the surgery. And now I am feeling pretty sore, although when I put pressure on the incision ----because only one out of the six hurts.... strange right? Right when I put pressure on the incision it feels so much better... my dr's head nurse said if it helps than I can wear my spanx, thank goodness. because I need to get back to some sort of normal day.

I am doing allright with everything else, meds are being taken,

water is pretty hard to get it all in... but i am trying, sip sip sip...

protien, well i just started with protien today... well see how that goes. although gotta say I like the Chike Banana flavored mix, might have to buy some (I got half serving samples of thier 5 flavors for $3)
