I try to think positive but for some reason my mind is on the fear of "not waking up". I have had nightmares as well. HELP!!! PLEASE!! any ideas to help my anxiety?and my stupid subconcious? Also my surgeon only wants me to do a 24hr liquid diet..i keel readimg everyone is doing a 2 wk diet..and i am a heavy patient BMI about 65!! Anyone else going thru somethin similar? Anything would help! Thanks ????

And i am scared out of my mind...i was fine up until i got my date...its so soreal to me..im like this is really gonna happen...sigh** then my anxiety went up...and my stupid subconcious is like this this and this could happen.... But i guess i have to maintain myself positive and think hiw far ive come (6months preop) how r u feeling? Did u start ur 2 week liquid diet yet?
