I am nowhere near surgery but I think about it all the time. For instance, since I learned that soup is a "slider food" after surgery I have been craving it non-stop and have it nearly every day for lunch. lol I look at my dogs and I'm like "Someone will have to help me with them after surgery", or we are having an annual bake sale at work and I'm thinking "this is the last year I will be able to eat stuff at this bake sale without it making me sick". And so on... The only craving I have given in to is soup, and that is ok because the soups I eat are actually quite healthy compared to most other options. I think this is normal, and everyone does it. It is like your brain is trying to prepare you for a change. Keeping busy helps a lot I find, but if you feel too anxious maybe your doctor can help?

Haha! Oh sweetie i wish i found this post earlier! I went through the exact same things! Same thoughts, questions, doubts oh my goodness i could go on. My insomnia was at its worst the weeks before surgery and everything I did seemed to be passing through the "Surgery Filter" LOL You're normal and don't worry This wont last forever. By golly were 21 century women! ...we'll find something else to worry about when this is over! lol just kiddin'. Laugh it up, its medicine!
I did the same thing. The funny thing for me was that I kept worrying about what would happen if I went into a nursing home in my 80's or 90's, because I watched my grandmother not even able to get a decent diabetic diet in a couple of the homes she was in. I thought, if she can't get something as common as a diabetic diet, how the heck will I get a good WLS diet!?
I'm not worried at all about that anymore. I am used to what I can and can't eat, and I can generally find something to eat anywhere. I was just overthinking it pre-WLS, that's all.
