Not for chumps...TOUGH but worth it!

Day 9 and counting.....During this preop diet I have realized how much I have relied on food. All week long my boyfriend and I have been going out and he gets to eat anything he wants oh and me I get to look at him enjoy the food. I am learning how to regulate my emotions because I can't eat what he eats. For instance his birthday was on thursday and he wants to go out to eat at lunch and dinner. My mouth starts watering when I look at him eat..ugh. Then today we just came from a wedding rehearsal and they had one of my favorite foods (chinese food). I was asked atleast 4 times would I like something to eat. Don't get me wrong it was very tempting but I did not give in. I know I have to learn now how not to rely on food but understand it will always be around as long as I live and its okay to WALK AWAY! I just wanted to express myself tonight. I hope everyone continuing to drop weight and becoming better people inside and out. Let me know how you are doing.

    I understand. Just know, the pre-op diet is only for documentation and insurance purposes. It doesnt really affect your sugery at all so dont stress about it too much.

    Keep up the good work. The preop diet is one of the worst experiences. Your are doing great and only a few more days to go until the surgery. B)

    Thanks all, I am very grateful for the encouragment and you guys are who I look up too because you are still standing. To Arnetta just wanted to encourage you today not to give up and I know you have not. I want to share this journey with you. Everything will work out. I am only 4 days away from the surgery so I am starting to get a little more excited. I will keep you posted.

    I am glad that you are staying encouraged and motivated. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow (low carbs) and then 2 days of liquids. I have not been scheduled for surgery, but I will find out tomorrow. I have raided the fridge and cabinets to determine what I can and cannot have. I am looking forward to the challenge because I know I will hate the liquid diet. Be bless and keep us posted.
