Did anyone else grieve their old lifestyle before surgery?

What the h*ll is wrong with me? I have a surgery date for March 22, 2002. I am excited and a bit nervous, but there is something more. Everytime I eat anything now, I find myself thinking "this could be the last time I ever get to eat this," and feeling sorry for myself. I also find myself going through my closet regretting all the clothes I am going to have to get rid of--I like my wardrobe. Once the weight comes off, I will be donating my clothes to the Women's Crisis Center--and I am happy to do that, but I spent a long time assembling these things and now almost hate to give them up...Did anyone else ever experience this, and what did you do to get through it? Thanks, Cheryl ps. I know there is a clothing exchange program through this site, but I feel that helping women who have been in domestic violence situations get back on their feet is as noble a cause! :-)
