One week before surgery...getting really nervous

I am new to the boards and feeling so nervous right now. My surgery date is 10/14...I am doing OK on the pre op diet but my anxiety over the initial post op phase is getting to me. I am obsessing that I won't get in enough fluids and proteins, or imagining the worst...that I will have a leak. Just wanting to feel that this is normal?

      I'm a nut, because I was not nervous at all! Even as I walked up to the hospital, I was pretty chill. I figured if something bad happened I had a good run. LOL.

    If you weren't a little apprehensive, I'd worry you hadn't given it enough thought. This is life changing surgery and serious stuff. But it will also save your life. Congratulations and best wishes to you.
