Has any pre-op people felt detached from your normal life?

I am having surgery in a little over a week and for the past 2 months or so, I have become what seems to be self centered. I seemed to have alienated my best friend and would rather spend time on the web sites finding out as much as I can about life afterward food, vitamins etc.which takes time away from my family too. I have met someone who has become a friend who is pre-op as well and there are times I would rather chat with her than my friends of 25 years. I know this is probably one of the biggest things I will do in life but do we ever go back to a normal life (relationship wise) as we knew it? Feeling a little lonely I guess, and an emotional wreck!!!!
