So, for the last 9 months I've been on this journey. Along the way I've begun telling more and more people. The most common questions were about my feelings. Was I anxious, was I excited, was I nervous? I didn't really have any of these emotions. People seemed rather disappointed, lol. I'm 3 days into my preop liquid diet for surgery on the 24th and I just realized I am absolutely terrified. I'm usually in complete control of my emotions. I'm not sure if it's the diet or the fact that my mind is finally accepting that this is happening. Anyone else go from 0 to 60 on the emotional spectrum?

Most definitely! All of it!

I am also having surgery on the 24th! I am on a 2 week liver reduction diet. I also am getting pretty nervous, however I just keep thinking about how much better I'll feel after I have the surgery and lose some weight!

We got this!

Melissa 4324 I start my pre op diet on Monday May 16 and I am terrified, I have run the gauntlet of emotions. Am I doing the right thing, should I not go through with it? I have had a full mix of emotions. Told my daughter today that I was scared

If all goes well and I have lost the other 3 lbs my surgery will be th 25th.

I am starting my last week of liquid diet for liver reduction. That will make 4 weeks, not been easy.

I hope everyone has a good surgery and great progress.

Thanks, Pixie09

Yep I was relatively comfortable about my decision until I received my surgery date and then the fear kicked in. Also on the morning of the op I shed a few tears because I was worried I was making the wrong decision.... I'm a few months post op now and very happy with my bypass.

The same thing happened to me, got my surgery date and fear and apprehension kicked in but i think i have started to compartmentalize it and i'm feeling pretty calm now. Knowing that long term health wise I'm doing the right thing.
