Nerves

[sabrowne20 15]

Hi everyone! My name is Shea. I'm new to this forum. My surgery is scheduled for October 20th. I haven't been nervous until a few days ago! Now the nerves are really kicking in. I'm starting my clear liquid diet tomorrow. Any advice to calm the pre-op jitters??

Deep breaths and xanax...I usually have some for my anxiety, but they played me to take it as needed pre-op...I didn't take any since I didn't feel like going to the pharmacy for more meds

If you don't have anything, you can always ask your surgeon

Nerves are ok just follow through, think about the weight you'll lose and smile. My surgery date is the 20th also!!!

I'm having surgery nightmares at night.

I had a op date of 10/10, but totally bailed at the hospital, due to panic. Now I have to reschedule the whole damn thing (I KNOW, logically, it's what I want to do) and go through ANOTHER 2 weeks of liquid diet (for a total of 4 weeks) so I can do it next week rather than eat some regular food and start over from scratch.

It's totally normal to be nervous. Don't bail unless your 1000% sure this isn't what you want. To redo everything is a DRAG.

This liquid diet is the pits!!!!! Even though i'm drinking a ton of liquid, my mouth constantly feels like the sahara!
