Ahhhhhhh It's Becoming Really Real

Well, just got the call and my insurance has approved my surgery!!!!! I'm scheduled for Aug. 23rd. It's very REAL now and I'm starting to get nervous, anxious, scared, and second guessing myself. Is this normal? Also, my dr. doesn't require the 2 week pre-op liquid diet but i think I'm going to do it for 1 week prior just to be on the safe side and also to get myself prepared for the liquid diet after.

Prayers and encouraging words are appreciated here!!!
