 Tomorrow is my day at Mount Sinai with Dr. Kini. I'm nervous as all hell and can't control my emotions.  I will be on the losers bench tomorrow....  

Right now the questions going through my mind are how much I love pizza and how I wont be able to eat post op.  I know it's bad thinking but it's all I can think about

This is a repost from another thread very much like yours.  It works here too I think.

 I guess it is normal to get scared before such a major life changing event.  Honestly though, i never really got scared or even very nervous about it.  

After 43 years of living this life, I was so ready for a change there was nothing for me to be scared of .. other then staying fat and having a stroke, heart attack or whatever else.  To me that was what I was scared of .. not the surgery.  I was killing myself slowly.  Now I'm getting healthier each day instead of one step closer to the grave.

Wishing you all the best as you begin your journey!  You can do this!

That is my fear exactly! Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.. but then again, I feel that way any time I am having surgery.

 Thank you I appreciate that! I trust in God to protect me and get my body (his temple) into better working order.

I feel the same way...I just put my kids to bed and I had to try really hard not to cry and think tomorrow I might not come home. Talk about morbid thoughts!!! Good luck to you on Wednesday!

 Glad I'm not the only one! It's just such a weird feeling! Excitement, anxiety, nerves, love, everything!

Healthy > Pizza.

And yes....you will still be able to eat post op.  The liquid stage is just a blip on the VSG radar but it is very important you do it right.

You will be able to eat soon enough, I'm 4 weeks out and had the pepperoni and cheese off 1 slice two days ago and I was just fine. Of course I have had no problems drinking or eating since surgery and I am very thankful for that! I was nervous but so ready to make a permanent change! After the first week which is pretty rough you WILL be feeling better and losing and soooo glad you did this!
