I just hate surgery. I'm hoping nothing goes wrong and scared about how difficult my recovery will be. Ugh!

I'm scheduled for surgery Wednesday and I'm scared that I have made a wrong decision. I haven't been able to follow liquid diet completely.

From what I've read the nerves about making the wrong decision are normal, but of course you should think it through. I didn't follow my liquid diet completely until today and yesterday. Honestly my doc didn't seem to worried about it. He basically said, "try your best". I had a few servings of tuna throughout the week.

Yes. Feeling nervous is normal. But I'm two weeks out, feeling good and happy I did it! You'll be awake and past the scary part in the blink of an eye. You will do fine!☀️

Thanks so much for the info. My big day is tomorrow.
