Well it is the day before my surgery and I can't believe how emotional I am, I have been crying all day and don't know why. I am not sure if it is because my mom passed in November and this is the first time in my life (50 years)I have done something this big and she is not here to be by my side??? I do have a great support system in my husband he has been there for me at every step of the way  he has gone to every appointment with me and just a great man.  So why am I a mess? I know it will get better just need to vent.  Thanks for listening.

Hugs and thoughts going your way! My surgery is Thursday and I'm sure I'll be the same way - my mom's not here anymore either. It seems like whatever support you have, sometimes you just need your mom.

Even before surgery I started getting weepy and mood-swingy. I don't know if it's a side effect of losing weight like some people say, or just a "head thing" from making such a big life change, but you're in good company. Even though I'm in generally good spirits I've found myself getting soppy and sniffling and crying at all sorts of weird things. Totes normal, I think.

I have a basement but don't dwell in it full time.

Good luck to you. Safe surgery and speedy recover. I'm sure your mom will be right there with you tomorrow!

Hey there!! I think we were in Dr. M's nutrition class together!!  I just wanted to say I understand how you feel COMPLETELY!!!  Like you, I recently lost my mom... and even though my surgery will be in a few more weeks, I can't tell you how many times I have thought about this same thing.  I start to think about her being here to help me and then have to remind myself she is not here!!  I think as much as I think about it now - it may very well make me a mess at surgery time, too!!  

My thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe and successful surgery and also for peace and knowing your mom is really still by your side....

Hello,

yes I was in Dr. M nurtition class on Thursday, Your surgery will be here before you know it.  Yes I always have to remind myself that she is gone and I guess it hard today because she was my second best friend next to my husband.  Thanks for the support.  I will keep in touch and let you what to expect in a general sence.   If there are any questions that I answer for you after my surgery just let me know.

It was talking to you.
