Date is getting closer!!! nervous...but excited!

Well, the next three days are the last days I will be eating a "normal" way.  And by normal I mean solid food. LOL  I start my clear liquid diet on Saturday.  I am already having to refuse some dinner engagements so that I can stick to what I need to do.  I know I *could* go to moms for Sunday dinner with the family but I would have to explain my lack of eating and be tempted to cheat with her good home cooking and I'm not comfortable with either. I'm trying to set myself up for success in a variety of ways:

I am creating a bucket list of things that I never thought I could or would do because of my size.  Now, they will be the things I look forward to instead of food.  I am also writing a list of non-food rewards I can do for myself when I'm excited or for any time I *USED* to turn to food.  I don't know if I should get therapy too...I think it's a good idea but I don't trust most counselors to understand or deal properly with weight issues.  Also, I still carry great humiliation admitting I have had such a struggle with it (not like people can't easily SEE I have an issue but talking about it is a whole other deal!)  We'll see...

So I am starting to get nervous.  Not having second thoughts at ALL...just having that feeling that...WOW...I am doing this!  I can't believe my time is almost here!! 

I know this feeling all so well.... I am being sleeved tomorrow..yayyyyy!!!! But I do understand the nervousness and excitement all these mixed emotions... The liquid diet is a rough start day one but I promise you can do it .... So good luck and I wish you well with your progress

Thank you Daisyls645! Post when you can after surgery so we know how it went!

I like the idea of the bucket list and the list of non-food rewards instead of turning to food. That really makes a lot of sense and it's something I think I'll start. I still have a couple months to finish on my 6 month mandated diet so I have time to think and watch everyone's progress. Good luck and keep posting!!
