So many mixed emotions

[missybean 40]

I've been patiently waiting since June for my surgery date, and as I wait for the surgeon to call me and finally give the date I can't help but have all these mixed emotions. This is something I have wanted and needed for a long time. I have done so much research and have followed so many stories on here that I feel more ready than I will ever be. It just seems so surreal that its all so close. I keep wondering "will I be the same, how will I look slim, how will my kids see me, how will I view the world" the list goes on... I just keep telling myself to stop, live for today, and go with the flow. Enjoying life is all I want to do. Please do tell me someone out there has had these same feelings...

Me ,me! I have my date now. But I waited from June until a few weeks ago. My date is November 19th. Tonight, I am really nervous and scared about all the details and the recovery. I just got home from my 4 hour post op prep class. Hang in there!

Thanks for sharing. It's good to hear that I'm not alone. The mind is the most powerful thing we have and I use that to my advantage. I just keep telling myself everything will be ok. Best of luck to you

I've been feeling the same way! I started my journey in February and was so excited about it, and now my surgery is in a week and I'm a little scared. I just realize that everything is really going to change and that makes me nervous, but I realize it's all going to be for the better!

I researched this surgery for over 2 years. Finally I made the decision to do it. Had my surgery Aug. 14. Best decision I have ever made for myself and my health. I am a slow loser, only down 31 pounds on just over 2 months. But it's coming along and I am feeling better every day. It's such a great feeling to see the scale moving down instead of up! And it's just the beginning. Good luck with your journey!!!!

Bellbtm sounds like you're still doing wonderful. Your progress is and will be great. Thank you for sharing.

Oksleeveme22, YES GIRL!! That is exactly how I feel. I know it's going to he for the better to but isn't it so hard but help feeling like this? I'm just so anxious to know my date so I can get the surgery done and start living day by day into enjoying life. Best of luck to you all
