September 30th!!! I've been counting down already! Just had my last preop class! I'm so excited! liquid diet starts next week!

Awww Hugs! We all make choices in our lives that we wish we could go back and change, however we all know we can't change the past, but we CAN change our futures! We can make the right choices if we choose to. This decision is life changing and it is very emotionally draining, questioning ourselves at every turn. It is scary when we see changes coming. We are a creature of habit and we feel comfortable when things stay the same. Sometimes we need to jump out of our comfort zone and take a leap of faith. This surgery is my leap. I don't know what is on the other side, but I hope it is for the better, it has to be, and I will try my best to make it that way. I wonder all the time, if I should back out, but I forsee a shorter life span with my loved ones with Diabetes and heart disease in the future if I don't. Consider a therapist if you are still feeling unsure of your decision. Hugs

:hugs: Yes, yes I did go through that. I was also really excited. Surgery is big step and it may not feel like it, but it's a positive thing you are this emotional before hand. If you were just treating it like a spa day then people would be worried. I lso went through 'buyers remorse' after surgery. I can tell you at the beginning of week nine I'm not where I's suppose to be food and Water intake wise but I've lost the weight and am incredibly happy with the progress. If you want to talk more feel free to message me.

I'm so overwhelmed. My surgery is a little more than two weeks away. And I think it's all finally kicking in. I've been working REALLY hard to educate myself and i literally feel like I couldn't be anymore prepared.
But it's seriously emotionally draining. I KNOW I'm making the right choice so I don't really know why I'm this overwhelmed.
I think it's because I can't believe I'm actually doing it. I never thought it would come to this. I just can't believe that I didn't take care of myself. How could I do this to my body? I put on weight physically but I've also put on weight mentally. I'm prepared to take the weight off all aspects of my life but just thinking about how life changing this surgery is is a lot to take in.
Anybody else feel like they are hit with an emotional train before surgery?

I'm 22. I have my bypass on September 30th! I'll let you know how it goes
