[mstrue 4]

Surgery date June 11..I'm on my 7th day of full liquid diet. chicken broth, Optifast, jell-o and Water has become the story of my life (this is no walk in the park). Anxiety is starting to kick in. Is this normal? My surgery is all I can think about.

Anxiety is SO normal. I think you wouldn't be human if you didn't get anxious. But it's exciting too! Best wishes to the both of you.

Anxiety, second guessing your decision and all the other emotions, very normal. Try to keep your eyes on the prize, the new healthier you.

Remember Drs and nurses are trained to keep you well.

Good luck!

I completely agree that it's normal. I have an anxiety disorder and was going crazy. You'll be okay though!!!

It is normal! If you got this far then you know that you need this surgery!! You will do great! Take it one day at a time

I also have an anxiety disorder which got worse and worse closer to surgery. Even though you want something 100% and are committed....it is still enough to make your stomach roll thinking about it because it is still something drastic to do.

Three months out and I can honestly say that I feel great and I have less and less anxiety about EVERYTHING, not just about my band but also just about life, what to wear, if I'll get tired, etc.

Good Luck!!

I've never had surgery before and I'm definitely nervous too. June 10, but I'm just ready to get on with it. I figure it will be over before we know what hits us. Good luck.

So normal!!! It goes away a few days after the surgery and then you look back and wish you would have done this years ago;)
