To tell you the truth, you should be. It's a big change. I worry about people who are not nervous. You got this, and if you need to remember why you are doing this, read:

Try to focus more on the long term future rather than the surgery itself......I agree with @@OKCPirate it is very normal to be nervous....it would be weird if you weren't...

But just keep reminding yourself why you're doing it. My surgery was almost 8 weeks ago and I can tell you for me, it's the best thing I've ever done!!! I have not regretted it for one second!!!

Good luck to you!

Wednesday will be here before I know it and I'm getting cold feet and just want to back out of it. I'm literally terrified in this very moment

I'm right there with you. I'm just a message away if you need to talk, and will definitely hold you in my prayers and thoughts. It's normal to be anxious and second guess your choice. I'm doing it right now, but as everyone (who has had bariatric surgery) told me, "You'll be so glad you did it when you're done recovering."

I was going to say the same thing! (If you're not anxious, then I'd be a little concerned.) COMPLETELY NORMAL!

Scared is an absolutely normal feeling.

I worked really hard to not be scared just because I wanted to be calm and peaceful when I went into surgery because I felt that would give me the best outcome.

I wasted a lot of time pre-surgery fretting about a massive life change thinking I would always be weird and an outsider because I wouldn't be able to eat like "normal" people. 12 months later, that isn't the case at all, I eat kind of normally, except I don't over eat like 95% of the population.

Calm down, if you have got this far you came this far for a reason. Focus on what you want to do once you get to goal and keep that visual image in your mind.

I'm just going to tell you that fear is ok but don't let it stop you. You are almost there. This surgery saved my life and it will yours also. You will be miserable for a couple of weeks but then the changes really kick in. I promise, you are going to do great. God bless and believe in yourself.

Write a list of all the reasons you want this surgery...all the things you want to do when you lose weight or what you want from this journey. I have a long list and wish I had surgery at your age - my list would have been even longer. Prayers!!! Stay strong and positive!

I was sleeved on 12/29/15 and I thought of backing out. I was terrified! Trust me, it's so worth it. My recovery was much easier than I thought and the results are amazing. HW 275 CW 180! I know this is a huge life change but you will be very happy that you did it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
