OMG'sh y'all in 3 days I'll be going into surgery! WOW I am a wrec****ep thinking about the bad stuff instead of the positive. I went for pre-op yesterday where they told me they're going to be placing a breathing tube and that TOTALLY freaked me out. I've never had surgery of any kind, so I'm scared...anyone else out there had all these emotions of just pure fear? Yet happiness because you know you are doing the right thing?

Good Luck.  I know how you feel, I got my approval and then I started to get nervous.  I have had many surgeries so I know its just normal jitters.  However I am on day 3 of my 2 week liquid diet and I feel like I am gonna die...lol

Good Luck.  I think the days before surgery are harder than the days after.... in some ways. I am 19 days out and lost 18 pounds already.

Thank you! That's what I am hoping for- easy days after major surgery. That's fabulous 18 lbs already. You are doing great.

did you have to do preop liquids?  Everyone has a different preop diet, Mine is 2 weeks liquid.  I hear after surgery you arent hunger so I think I can breeze through the post op diet but this pre op liquid bites.
