I'm down 18.4 pounds on Day 10 preop diet. Great. Sleeve is Monday and I think the anxiety is catching up with me. Having bad dreams like waking up in a panic thinking I had eaten fried chicken on the morning of my surgery. Then yesterday when I was getting my hair washed at the hairdresser, I got hot/flushed/nauseated. Had to sit up and cut the wash/scalp massage short. Maybe a teensy panic attack?? Has this happened to anyone else?

To a different degree but yes! It is completely normal to be anxious. I actually think the first week after surgery has been easier for me than the last week before surgery. It has had challenges in different ways but no more anxiety per say.

Totally normal!! I was setting with an IV in and playing calm on the outside for everyone but inside......It's not only surgery but a totally different lifestyle afterwards. But I'll let you in on a secret, its worth every minute.

Yesterday I spent over an hour outside taking my Nephews prom pics. I am not talented but just have a great camera but this time last year I would have been sweating so badly it made me sick. I'm 47 and actually see an amazing future.

So many people will tell you the only regret is not doing it sooner. Your going to rock this!!!

Like everyone says we all felt the same... I was calm the whole time until they took me inside the operation room I felt so sick and started to vomit for like 10 min until I couldn't no more because I got so scare, but the nurses were so nice they made me calm down. Good luck! And remember to walk walk walk [emoji6]

@@Monie717 not only normal, but expected (and for many, will continue post-surgery with hormone dumping). For me, enhancing my emotional regulation skills and ability to sit with moments like you describe has been one of my biggest goals since I used food to cope for so long and knew I had to change that to be successful. Best of luck this weekend, Monday and beyond!

@@Monie717, if you don't believe the good people who've already responded, stick around for the endless parade of those who are approaching their surgery dates as though they're being led to the guillotine. Dreaming about fried chicken is okay as long as you don't bite the stuffing from your pillow.

@@agalindo17, nope, we didn't all feel the same. I'd been so preoccupied with preparing in advance (buying supplies, making charts of what I'd need to do and when I'd need to do it in the few weeks following surgery, et al.) that nervousness was not on the menu. I walked into the OR ready for anything.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
