Emotional Eating - Prepare For Life After Surgery?
JourneyOfAFatKid replied to Scully's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm so glad you asked this question! I was getting ready to ask the same thing! I'm still on my pre op diet. I get sleeved the 25th, and I hope I didn't ruin it for myself because I got so anxious last night that I binged on a bologna and cheese sandwich, and two small bierocks. They were so good, but dammit I hated myself this morning.... ugh. -
Ok, so I spend quite a bit of time with my dad and step mom. I haven't told them I'm having this surgery, and we go to the farmers market every Saturday and then have lunch after. They are going to ask questions. And I want to tell them, but I'm afraid of what they will say... maybe judgement... but my question is, how do you keep this a secret from people you spend a lot of time with?

This is amazing! I can't wait to try it out!! Do you know how long they last? I didn't know if since they are made of egg if they will keep for very long? Anyone know?

Major Headache From My Pre-Op Diet
JourneyOfAFatKid replied to Sherry77's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I am so glad I'm not the only one who got this migraine. I am on day 2 of 10 day diet, and last night I had the worst migraine in the world, I woke up this morning without one, but I think that's because I cheated and ate food last night around dinner time. I was so positive this diet would be a walk in the park... sigh... -

Another Pre Op Diet Question
JourneyOfAFatKid posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So yesterday I was doing really good with day 1 of my diet, then my family went to a restaurant to eat last night, and just out of pure habbit, I ordered what I shouldn't have, completely ruining the whole day of work I had done. As you all can relate to this, (I hope) did this one meal completely ruin my PO diet? Or will I survive? -
So! Today is day ONE of my preop diet, and I have a TON of sugar free jello, chobani greek yogurt, and chocolate protien drink powder. ALL SWEET STUFF. And of course I'm craving salt. Is there anything I can have?

Am I Not Allowed To Be Afraid?
JourneyOfAFatKid posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok so, I have been on a roller coaster for a year and a half trying to get approval for this surgery from insurance. I was so excited the day that I finally got the call that I was approved that I was crying. Now. That being said I am SO NERVOUS. This is surgery. I have to be put under. So anytime that I try to confide in my mom or husband about my fears, they try and convince me that its ok if I don't want the surgery anymore. That we can wait until I'm ready, or that I can do it on my own. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I have been after this forever! If I wasn't 1000% sure I wanted this surgery I would have stopped after the first denial letter. Not keep trying STILL after the third!!! Ugh! Don't sit there and try and talk me out of it, talk to me about how great it is that I'm doing it! And how great it will be afterwards!!! UGH! -

Yeah initally I had a lot of trouble because my BMI was at 39.6 and I didn't have and co-morbs and they still wouldn't approved me. I got denied 3 times and then was told I wouod have to wait 6 months and re submit. So in the 6 months I gained 5pounds and got my 40BMI and an approval! -
