Hi and yes it I also think I'm having carb withdrawals. I know the most important thing is a safe surgery but I am terrified to tell my surgeon that I have fell off. Like I said in the last reply I've been doing this for a year and I'm so close and don't want to be set back any longer than I already have. The worst that can happen is on the day of surgery they can't do it. I will listen and understand their decision. I think it would be a good idea to give my therapist a call about this situation since you've said that has helped you in your situation. I hope I can make it through this and be as successful as everyone else. Thank you for your feedback!

Maybe I am not ready for this surgery that I don't know for sure, but one thing I do know is that this surgery is my last hope. I've been working towards this surgery for a year and I've had to postpone multiple times because my team said I was not ready. I know it's serious and I've talked with some family members who have had the wls and they have made me want to fight these hunger urges. Trust me I've thought about it and I really want to be healthy. I am 350 pounds with diabetes and high cholesterol at the age of 21. I know that I need this more than anything I just struggle with my fast food/food addiction. If I get turned away on the day of surgery I will take that as a learning lesson and try again. Thank you for your feedback!

The most I can have a day is 5 since I am diabetic also I do believe I can have some jello. I think I will try that! I am 6 days away from my surgery day now and I think I will fight through the hunger although I'm not sure at this point if the surgeon will do my surgery due to the fact that I've ate so much. Thanks for your feedback and help hollykim

protein shakes, sugar free beverages, sugar free popsicles,

So I'm supposed to be doing a 2 week liquid diet. I started my diet on November 29th and so far I've had fast food 3 times and can't stop snacking here and there. I'm really trying to stay focused on the diet but my head feels dizzy and It feels like I have the flu. It's bad enough that I have a food addiction but to add on the terrible symptoms of not eating seems to always make me fall off. In the bariatric groups I'm in a lot of people seem to have the same problem and others tell them they are not ready. I thought bariatric surgery was for people like me who struggle with food addiction and losing weight? I honestly don't know what to do and feel like I don't have the strength to continue the diet.
