Working the pre-op diet, exercising more at least 5 days a week. Trying in drink the 64oz. of liquid and the moutian of vitamins.haha..Reading a book suggested by the Psych.provider...helping alot "The emotional first aid kit". Having A LOT OF MOMENTS OF PANIC/ANXIETY. I really want this for better health, but just can't stop my MIND FROM HAVING NERVES.....I have a very hard time with the unknown.Thank goodness i have had Surgery once before so I have a little idea of what to expect..Any suggestions on how I should spend my next 2-wks and 30days???

Keep yourself busy, use positive self talk and picture yourself with the weight melting away.... Think about getting new cloths and compliments from the people you love on how good you look. Think about better health. Pretty much try and stay busy and embrace the new you.

I think everyone would have a little bit of panic. I'm less than 9 hours away from my surgery and it's all I can think about. I spent the day cleaning to keep my mind off of it. Good luck to you.

My surgery is the day after yours and I can hardly stand the wait. I feel like I'm pregnant and I'm in the last month and every day drags by as you get more and more excited and nervous about having the baby! This is exactly how I feel. I am trying to keep my mind off of it but it's nearly impossible. I'm not working right now and so I have way too much time on my hands. I've been working out more and getting ready but i'm driving my husband insane. I think the waiting is the worst part of it all.

There is only like less than a 1% mortality rate. Just relax and enjoy the time. Plan your last full meal before surgery and have fun.
