If I didn't know better I'd be pretty sure this was something I wrote.
I'm 8 days post-op. I've lost 12 pounds. Literally, everything you wrote is me. I'm terrified of failure. I just know I'm going to do something wrong. But it keeps me honest. I've been extremely careful about what I eat. And as for the sweets- well, I haven't had any real problems. I had a tiny bit of fat free frozen yogurt about 5 days post-op and that was SO good, totally took care of the sweet craving I was having. And I froze some 100% fruit juice into ice cubes- they help with the sweet cravings too : )) I hope that helps. Good luck.
