Feeling emotional, Liquid diet starts tomorrow!

I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet tomorrow, and surgery is on 10/8/15. Up until this moment I have been very excited and anxious. But as this day gets later, and evening sets in, I am starting to feel like it's the last night of my regular life as I've known it for 29 years. I'm feeling very emotional, and somewhat anxiety ridden with what's ahead. I am more then ready, been contemplating and researching this for many years. I guess I'm just feeling like my new changed life starts tomorrow morning, and I'm almost mourning my old life. Has anyone else experienced a flood of emotions like this before surgery? I'm also really nervous about how I'll feel the night before and the day of surgery. How did you control your emotions and stay rational? Thanks

@@Grace2115 So how's the liquid diet going? Did you get your flavored liquid Stevia and if so, do you like it?

Hey! Yes, I got the English Toffee, and still waiting for the pumpkin to come, it got delayed. I have to be honest, I felt like the English Toffee had a really funky aftertaste ???????? I'm hoping the pumpkin is better!!

Liquid diet is going well, I've lost a lot of weight!! I have 2 days left then surgery is Thursday. It's been really really hard. I've had good days and bad. At first I was very moody/emotional. I felt like I was detoxing from food!! Honestly- I'm so sick of this diet, I can't wait til it's in my past!! The thought of eating another vegetable makes me wanna gag, Lol!! With that said, I'm feeling great, and fitting into clothes that I haven't been wearing because they were too tight!!
