I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow. I have been excited and still am. I don't think I feel nervous but I can't stop crying since yesterday. I am attributing this to starting my pre-op diet this week, as well as cutting out all caffeine. Did anyone else become very emotional for the day or two before surgery?

You don't have to look too hard to find my first post here... which was a few nights before the surgery, in which I admitted to crying my eyes out, and wanting to write emotional letters to my wife and kids "just in case."

Easy to blame the caffeine... But I think its natural to get emotional over this. Its a major life decision... it's not minor in any way, shape, or form.

You're gonna be okay... and you're gonna come out on the other end of this so much happier, healthier, and ready for what life throws your way.

Very best of luck to you!

You're going to do fine! Just breath!

I cried during my pre-op diet. I was so scared the morning I went in! I was a babbling idiot. I am 5 months out and I cry easily. I think the changes your body goes through are very significant. I don't worry about it. If I feel like crying, I cry!
