WIG OUT!

 So I do noty know what was wrong with me today. Mother's day and for the 3rd time in my 24 years with my husband he was home! (unemployed), my 2 daughters weren't home they are still away, I have one studying at Oxford in England and one in Connecticut. I knew that it would be this way but it really hit me weird today. Not sure why? 
I keep thinking that probably because I am on my preop diet and cannot even eat anything to celeberate mothers day, what will the rest of my mothers day ever be like? My husband is afraid to talk to me because I keep breaking out in tears when I talk today.

2 days to surgery, oh Lord, please let me get through these and pass fast.

Just think, next Mother's Day you'll be much, much lighter, able to dress up in a cute outfit, and you can go out somewhere for a nice brunch and eat small amounts of healthy stuff and feel satisfied.

For the next two days, just use the opportunity to practice dealing with your feelings without feeding them.

Next year will be much better. I went to a japanese steak house the other night. I don't eat the rice, but I get a plenty of the rest (and alot to take home).

I can't agree more with Kelly. This is an excellent opportunity to practice finding new ways to cope. I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with the way you're feeling, but have you started/considered seeing a counselor? Mine has been invaluable through this process--not because I miss food, but just to help me hash out non-weight-loss-related issues and deal with emotions.

And keep in mind, you'll totally be able to eat after surgery. RnY is not a goodbye to food.
Today, I had a bbq'd cheeseburger (without the bun), pasta salad, a sliver of key lime pie, and a bite of a chocolate cupcake. Doesn't sound like much, I know, but it was totally satisfying. I don't feel deprived at all.

By next Mother's Day, you'll feel so much better. You'll be so much healthier and so much less dependent on food to soothe and comfort. Only 2 days left. You can do ANYTHING for two days. :) You got this, woman--you're gonna rock these next two days and come out on the other side feeling amazing.

 Sweety I know you are going to do GREAT! And though it is tough right now, it will all be worth it in the end. Next year you will look back and think I am so glad I went through that. 

It sounds like a tough day - but the plus is that the hubby was home, an amazing event apparently.  Emotions are probably all over the place with the stress of upcoming surgery.  Also, there is some 'greiving' going on for the loss of food - at least it was for me.  My suggestion is to 'celebrate' with the hubby - with the kids not home  . 

 Thanks everyone!!! I have kept to my pre op diet other than I  had 2 glasses of wine.That is ok because I realize that thsi was just my need for my last hurrah1. going to go drink my protein shake and go to bed. stay tuned for the nexxt 2 days. I am such a schizophrenic, exicetd, scared, exceited scaretd!!!!

I'm not even at my preop diet and I had all my kiddos with me and I still caught myself in tears twice today. It's a holiday. It's emotional for a gazillion reasons. You just proved to yourself today by sticking to your diet that you are ready for this. You have been on my mind a lot and will be this week.

You got this!

 Thanks Heidi, and everyone. Off to bed.....the wine was nice be an eye opener that it may make you feel good in the short term, but not in the long term.......i.e minutes to hours. ONWARDS AND UPWARS, OR AS BUZZSAYS --TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!

You are going to do just fine. The operation is even easier than I thought. I did not have that much fear about it before, but now that I have had it. It was not worth even the little fear I had. Next Mother's day you will be in much better health.
