EXTREAMLY ANXIOUS!

Ok, so Monday is the big day for me. I am to arrive at Albany Medical Center in Albany, NY at 5:45am. I'm seriously beyond anxious, excited and now very nervous. I'm so looking forward to a new amazing future, but the whole surgery part is finally hitting me. My program only requires a 24 hour clear, sugar free liquid diet, which I have now officially started. Tomorrow my friend will be coming over and she will be sleeping over and we will do final pictures and official inches of the soon to be old me. I look forward to this new life more then words can describe, but nerves are shot. Will keep everyone post.

My doctor's requirement is to do a full liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery and its been so hard but I've lost 32lbs on my own before surgery tomorrow!

Good Luck to all of you and praying for a speedy recovery for all of us.

Wow- best of luck to you Monday people! I sure am nervous too... It has to be a natural reaction to an elective (but so necessary) surgery. 9 days and counting for me but with all of this anxiety it's a damn good thing I'm on this 2 week liquid diet... I would have gained 10 instead of losing 10lbs. Kind of feel like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff with safety below... So grateful for the people on this forum!

Good luck everyone! How exciting! Keep us updated!

My surgery is tomorrow morning too! So far I am not nervous. I am just so ready to get it done. I am sure tomorrow morning will be a different story. All the nerves I haven't dealt with will probably come rushing up on me. Doesn't help that I will be getting up at 3:45am! I have a 5:30 arrival time and 7:30 surgery. Here's hoping I can get a little sleep tonight!
