Hi,

I am having surgery this week, not scared of the procedure at all, have had many major surgeries on my spine in the past.

But I am crying all the time, which is definitely not me. I am also a diabetic, my sugar levels are fine...........am so happy to

start my new life, but can't expalin my feelings. Has anyone else out there experienced this? Also feeling very weak on the pre- surgery diet, getting enough calories. Has anyone else experienced this?

Any help you could provide, would really be appreciated............Thanks Lori

Lori,

The calorie restriction can really mess with your emotions. It is going to be ok. Just be gentle with yourself.

Best wishes.

You may also just be realizing just how much this surgery is going to improve your health/quality of life. If this surgery has been a long time coming (like it is for so many), the reality of it actually happening may be hitting you, too. Just another idea.

Cherea, Thanks, I believe you are so right, I look at before and after

I personally went through the weepys last week. I personally was realizing this was going to improve my life, change it and my best friend (food) was being served with eviction papers.

Good luck things will be great!
