Emotions Are Crazy Like--2 Days Before Wls



Recommended Posts

My emotions are making me think I"m crazy. I'm excited, sad, happy, nervous, anxious, etc. I was sitting on the floor hugging my big ole dog and crying into her fur. WTH???? Anyone else feel like this too?

I'm waiting to hear about being approved and I'm like that already so I don't think you are crazy. I figure its normal and just remember why you are doing this :) Good Luck

I think what you are going through is perfectly normal. I would be worried if you weren't having different emotions. This is life changing event we are facing. I am not that close to my sx yet, only about half way through the process, but I have had a few emotional moments myself and I can see it getting worse when it gets very close to the time. Good luck to you, hug you dog and anyone else you can and remember this is for a longer and healthier life.

I am worried because I am not nervous... People keep asking me if I am nervous and I'm honestly not... I am just so ready!

I'm 12 days from surgery and my emotions are all over the place too. I'm mostly nervous as the time gets closer. Starting my liquid diet tomorrow. My friends keep asking me if I'm ready and all I can say is that I'm as ready as I'm going to be.

My surgery is 11 days away and although I seem calm on the surface my emotions are all over the place inside. I am anxious about how it will feel to swallow. That's the one thing that can't be worked out mentally. I can't predict the physical. Also, I haven't been "small" since my 30's. It's hard to even visualize. Deep breath...Believe

Omg, yes!! I can totally relate. I'm scheduled for Wednesday and my family doesn't want me have surgery. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I think if i wasn't on an antidepressant I would be even worse!!

Aren't big ole dogs the best????

My surgery is on the 10th and I am starting to feel my emotions going all over the place. The thing that keeps me calm the most is knowing that I am doing something for a healthier and longer life. It gets hard at times, but when I feel like crying I just let it out, that seems to make feel better even if for a little while. My hardest issue was starting the liquid diet. It is not as bad now as it was at first but it still is not the easiest thing in the world. If it were I do not think most of us would be going through the WLS in the first place right? Great news though you are not alone. Good luck.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
