New to this.. Scared to death

I am having surgery 2/25. I have gone from crying to excited. I have gone from wishing it was tomorrow to almost calling and backing out. Has anyone else experienced these emotions before surgery?

I did good. On day 5, i finally started to feel great. Christmas was good. I did cook a ham dinner for my family which was hard, but I had my cream of mushroom Soup strained and I was okay. My husband and kids are so behind me. Every pound I lose they are writing it down on the fridge. To date, I'm down 34 lbs and 44 total.

Everyone I've ever talked to has felt the same way. Just keep your eye on the prize of a healthier you!!!!!

I was terrified but I did it. It is normal. I found the more I researched the better I was. I knew what to expect, the good and the bad. Good Luck to you!!

I had my surgery the Monday before Thanksgiving. It was interesting....
