Luisa4ever21 16 Posted February 29, 2012 As I get my bag ready for tomorrow , I'm getting a lil nervous .. So many thoughts going through my mind like "am I doing the right thing?" " will I be able to stick to it?" "what if I don't loose weight?" so many thoughts its stressing me out... Just want to know if I'm alone in this or is it normal to feel this way?

nikki264 6 Posted February 29, 2012 I'm 2 days away, and feeling the same way! I'm still in the excited/nervous phase...but I'm sure tomorrow will be the full on freaking out phase! Haha You'll be just fine! 1 Luisa4ever21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted February 29, 2012 It's definitely normal to feel this way! Everyone goes through almost the exact same thought process just before surgery. Don't let it get you down! AND, you won't be the only person ever to have this surgery and not lose weight! Before you know it, you'll be posting astonishing numbers of pounds lost!! Don't forget to take your measurements today so that you have them for later! 1 Luisa4ever21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mambomama 8 Posted February 29, 2012 So good to see another person having surgery tomorrow. I too am having surgery and my arrival time at the hospital is 9:30am. I will post more when I return, but I wanted to mention that some of the very same thoughts are going through my head. I will be praying for you too as I head into this new venture with peace, hope, a sense of adventure and yes some fears. Will I survive? Will I have a leak? Will I be able to go back to teach in 2 weeks? Will I fail after all this is done? My friend yesterday said to me that this is like the birth of my first child. One moment I am changed completely and I will need to re-learn a lot of things about life--in this case eating and living. So I will take it one step at a time--baby steps with the hope of a healthier future! I wish the same for you! 1 Luisa4ever21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nomadgirl 37 Posted February 29, 2012 I will be there with you on Friday! I am excited, not so much nervous. I have complete confidence in my surgeon's skill 1 Luisa4ever21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandymarie81 108 Posted February 29, 2012 My date is tomorrow as well and like you I have had some doubts and questions...I am feeling much better about it today and am looking forward to shoving my hind end onto that losers bench! We are all going to get through this with amazing grace and will be pushing full steam ahead before we know it. If it hadn't been for several people on here telling me this whole thing was normal I probably would have backed out. 1 Luisa4ever21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeved&Hopeful 182 Posted February 29, 2012 You are feeling all of the normal things that we all feel. I felt scared, nervous, and worried that I would be one of the few people who didn't lose weight even with surgery. I am only 3 weeks out so I don't know if I will be a success yet, but the restriction is quite helpful so far.The emotions will be better once you are over surgery and you begin to feel somewhat normal. Good luck 1 Luisa4ever21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
