My surgery is scheduled 1 week from tomorrow. I am extremely nervous and as I have begun my liquid diet I have even thought about backing out. Any advice?

I have read so many posts about being very nervous before surgery, so it is completely normal.  I know that I was literally shaking when they took me into the OR.  But I have only one regret--not doing this surgery sooner.  As for advice, just know that many people on here talk about stalling or even gaining at around 3 weeks out.  This is normal.  Also, something that would have helped me had I known it--SIP SIP SIP AND SIP some more after surgery.  Dehydration can cause nausea and a host of other issues, so do your best to stay hydrated.  May people regret the surgery in the first month--it will get easier.  Good luck to you!
