My surgery is scheduled for 8/8. I'm hungry from the liquid diet and nervous about the procedure. I am also getting restless and ready to have the surgery as soon as possible. I've been so sure about this surgery since April when I booked my first consultation. Anyone else feeling the same way?

We are surgery twins my date is 8-8 to I am super anxious and nervous and feeling should I do this and can I maintain a healthy lifestyle after the surgery??? Driving me crazy all of the thought s going on in my mind and the liquid diet is not helping [emoji15]. But I know this is part of the process and surgery can be scary so I just allow my feelings to flow [emoji172]

Yes! I've had so many feelings dredged up this last week. Good luck and I'll be sending you good thoughts on 8/8!

My biggest hurdle was the pre op diet lol. But after week one it wasnt so bad. As everyone else has mentioned the nerves and anxiety comes naturally. Day of my surgery I was chit chatty to the point of not shutting up. I talked to anyone and everyone and as they were wheeling me in to surgery I guess they had enough because they knocked me out before they even transferred to the surgery table LOL, Best thing that happened to me because I didnt have time to think about it before I was sound asleep ha! ?

You will do just fine best wishes to you

Thanks@Crisscat! I was the opposite. I was so quiet and spacey on my surgery day. All went well and I'm home now recovering.

@heartofmercury glad to read you are home now and that all went well. Look forward to updates as you are feeling better!

Keep progressing and doing the best you can - that’s all any of us can do!! I love mini goals… something to strive for!!
