10 Days Pre-op: Should I know if I am ready?

Only ten days to go - this surgery has been 9 months in the making. I've bought all of my supplements, pureed and prepared and frozen post-op foods, packed my hospital bag and am about to go out and get all of my last minute things. I've read and read and read everything here. Profiles,advice, and experiences. I've talked through my feelings at length with good friends and family. I've considered all the things that'll make my new life a little tough at first. I've tried to convince myself that getting through the pain, possibly being tired and sick feeling at times, not eating my favorite foods...will be okay. I say to myself "If all of these other folks can do, so can I!". But somehow, I still find myself really scared. And although there is no chance that I am going to back out now, I am worried that my life will change so drastically, that I may regret this. Am I driving myself crazy? Is this normal pre-op jitters? Or something else? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
