Can't Focus :(

Well, I am ten days away from surgery and saw the doc today for the pre-op. He wants me on the preop diet. I thought I would be okay, but I am just so anxious and we have all this junk in the house from Disney (my husband raided the confectionary) that I find myself have "just one" of this and "just one" of that. I don't know why I am sabotaging myself like this. I am now having doubts that I will be able to deal with staying healthy post -op. getting scared.

Sweetie- I did the "Oh my God I will never be able to eat again!" stuff myself. Just remember...when you are post-op, if you try to eat any of that...you will pay dearly.(dumping) Only one time of that and you will remember what hell feels like. Plus...wls is a tool. You have to make a decision to lose weight or get off the ship. Now..I look at something that pre-op I would have eaten and say,"I've come from this surgery just to sabotage myself?" NO WAY!!! You will be fine...Good Luck and I will see you on the losing side.:wave" Hugs, Jen W. 304/281/150

Amy, it is hard, I've been there, but remember WHY you are having this surgery. Take the junk food and have dh hide it somewhere, just get it out of the house. Don't buy any more of it, and instead buy foods you can eat post op. I found sticking to the pre op diet helpful for me to get the mindset on what I was having surgery for. It also helped me reduce some weight so that the fat around my liver was less, making surgery better for me (if liver is too fatty they may not be able to do lap) You can do this Amy, just pull up your bootstraps, keep your eyes focused on your personal weight loss goal, and get rid of the junk!!!

You can do this Amy, just pull up your bootstraps, keep your eyes focused on your personal weight loss goal, and get rid of the junk!!! :::Pulling up the bootstraps::: Thank you both for your encouragement. Today was much better. I have been sticking to the diet and doing everything but going near the kitchen
