ITS OFFICIAL! please share your pre op experiences..give some tips too please :)

my surgery date is NOVEMBER 24!!!!

and it has been paid in full today :) I have started my pre op diet (ugh) so far im experiencing nausea after my shakes (they are EXTREMLY nutrient dense) and dizziness. im getting about a total of 45 carbs/ day that's including my veggies and shakes and total about 800 cals max..

im feeling pretty good. my heart seems to be much calmer (no sugar rushes!!)

what did u shop for pre and post op?

were u nervous when it became "official"????

did u fear the "what ifs"??? <<<< I am big time, does this mean I shouldn't do surgery?

I have 3 weeks until my life changed forever. I cant help but wonder if ill be that " rare" one that dies or has some sort of cardiac arrest or anything....cant help but think about the bad.....

And im thinking "what if I try again? (even tho ive tried toooo many times) what if I just didn't try hard enough before?? (god knows I have!!)

as I lay here, feeling like crap from the pre op diet.....im discouraged :( any advice, good vibes, encouragement, assurance would do WONDERS for me right now. and I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH, thank you.

Hi There.. i am going through the same struggles are you. I am scheduled for surgery on Nov 18th. While i am drinking all these Protein shakes and dreading them, i'm thinking to myself "geez if i can do this then why can't i lose on my own?" The truth is i have tried before and i know i can't thats why i need to push through and have the surgery. I'm just trying to keep a positive mindset and take it day by day. My devotional today was really good and hopefully it encourages you too:

I can do all things through christ who strengthens me. - Phillipians 4:13

Hang in there.. we can do this! :-)
