So I'm freaking out again!  I'm doing ok on the pre-op diet now that the nurse assured me I could have carb free solids-thank GOD for that because I never would have made it on only liquids.  I'm so scared of the surgery and recovery.  I'm scared to die on the table, or die from some horrible complication after the surgery...or just be sickly for the rest of my life.  I know statistically the risks are low, but I just don't want to be that "one".

You are so lucky to be able to have carb free solids!  I was doing Atkins before the pre-op liquid only diet.  I gained 14 pounds in the 14 days when I called and asked about it I was told I could do the carb free diet, I had to stay on the stupid shakes.  Good Luck.

As far as the rest it is normal to feel that way most say.
