Pre op downer

Anyone else felt this? Booked in for tomorrow and have been so excited. However, the last couple of days I’ve been bursting into tears for no apparent reason. Nerves kicked in and feel scared about such a big change. Although it’s something I’ve wanted for so many years, I feel like my body is not going to be my own anymore. Think the fact I’ve had ti remove all my fake tan and everything I just feel really ugly too and worried about lack of showering after op. I know it’s going to benefit me in the long run, I just never thought I’d feel this down and frightened. Anyway rant over, best get my sexy PJs and sports bras packed! X

I think it is perfectly natural to feel this way right before the op. I have mine in under 2 weeks now and get mixed emotions and like you I will be very scared before but I know it will be worthit in the end. Wont be long now and you will wonder what you were worrying for 😉 Good luck hun xx

Yeah I did to, felt guilty and scared incase something went wrong wondering did I really need it the lot!! Totally normal but wait till you’ve had ya op the joys really begin then, I remember sitting on me sofa couldn’t move, with greasy hair felt disgusting cus I couldn’t bath properly had no make up on and generally looked and felt rank!! my first week was hell but it does get better and easier so prepare yaself to feel crap but it’s defo worth it xx sam xx

Ps good luck for tomorrow you’ll be fine and just rest as much as poss after the less ya do the quicker ya heal xx sam xx

everything will be fine when u get there tomorrow… i burst in to tears on the morning of my op, and started doupting myself and what i was doing but then i thought of how long i have wanted to do this…. im now just over a week po, and its great, so dont worry enjoy tomorrow, and good luck..xx

Thanks guys, glad it’s normal. Sammy you’re so right with the guilt thing too. I have a 12 year old son and have been thinking about if anything went wrong, am I creating unnecessary risk for the sake of my vanity and insecurities. Also I have total OCD when it comes to personal hygiene, at least 2 or 3 baths or showers everyday. The thought of greasy hair etc actually makes me feel physically sick! Mind you, it will be a real novelty to not be able to do anything for a week! xxx

Hey, I felt exactly the same, and hated not having my nail varnish/ make up on etc, think it does make you feel worse but its defintely aaaaaall worth it!!! It’ll be over before you know it! I havent even seen mine properly yet as I still have all my strapping on but I already feel like they’re mine and love them!! I was also worried about not being able to shower, but having shallow baths isn’t too bad, and was able to lean over the bath for someone else to wash my hair almost straight away! Good Luck!! xx
