New to this.. Scared to death

I am having surgery 2/25. I have gone from crying to excited. I have gone from wishing it was tomorrow to almost calling and backing out. Has anyone else experienced these emotions before surgery?

Very normal!! It is a wave of emotions before and after. You'll do fine! Deep breath and go start your new healthy life. You can do this!!!

I did a lot of keeping busy. My surgery was a week before Christmas so I has shopping and wrapping to keep me busy. Good luck!

I did good. On day 5, i finally started to feel great. Christmas was good. I did cook a ham dinner for my family which was hard, but I had my cream of mushroom Soup strained and I was okay. My husband and kids are so behind me. Every pound I lose they are writing it down on the fridge. To date, I'm down 34 lbs and 44 total.

I was terrified but I did it. It is normal. I found the more I researched the better I was. I knew what to expect, the good and the bad. Good Luck to you!!

I had my surgery the Monday before Thanksgiving. It was interesting....
