Surgery tomorrow freaking out

[Sweetbaby1 77]

I dunno how to feel. My emotions are all over the place. I dunno if I'm scared, nervous, anxious, excited. I'm so confused. My bff is coming from nj to be here with me, and my other bff is coming from work to be here with me. I want this but I just don't wanna think about it. This is so surreal to me ughhh. Smh help me ease my mind please!

What you are going thru it totally normal... this is a big step; but one that will bring about a healthier you... glad you will have support, it's always great to have people in your corner!

Just try to relax (I know, easier said than done) picture yourself as the weight melts off... think of the things you plan to do... set up a mini goal for yourself and when you reach it, what will you do for yourself? Manicure, pedicure, massage...etc...

Good luck, you've got this!

Wishing you all the best on your surgery. Try to focus on all those things that helped you make the decision to go down this road. And focus on how you're going to feel when you're healthier, lighter ... all the things you look forward to doing.

And be sure to come back to this thread and tell us how you're doing!

Are you going to have a "slumber party" with your friends? Enjoy some movies, do pedicures (you can't have your nails painted) ... do something fun that will take your mind off it... I was so excited, I couldn't sleep!!!! I took some tylenol pm, sat down and watched a movie and in a few moments I was OUT!

Don't think about it too much, as it's going to happen. It's as good as done. As I always like to say: Not to spoil the ending for you, but everything is going to be OK. You've got support with your friends… both in person and here. We're all rooting for you.

Besides, us Jersey broads are pretty tough Cookies.

Be well…

I am having surgery on May 6 and am feeling the same as you. I am going over in my mind what I will do to deal with the discomfort ,not being able to "pig out", etc. I am thinking about looking at dresses on the line so I can pick one to wear to my nephew's wedding in September. It will be nice to not have to get a plus size. Also, we are going away next February break to the Bahamas. I think I will "window shop" on my computer for a couple of nice bathing suits and summer clothes. I am scared too. We should try to do things that don't make us think so much about the difficult part of the surgery and focus on the benefits as we get thinner. We can do this! There are a lot of people here if you need some help. Best of luck tomorrow!!
