I get my support from my work group I work with 8 of the most supportive and might I say thin athletic people ever, when I told them about my surgery they have been some of my best cheerleaders! (the hubs is #1) They understand, encourage and cheer me on, and listen! I also have several groups here online.

I agree with all the carb loving and Whey hating, I push my self to swallow the shots and shakes, but put a carb in front of me and I have to remind myself why I need to walk away-5 weeks out from surgery and 40 lbs gone, 20 post surgery

You are an inspiration, I hope to look back in 3 months and be on track like you are, thank you for such a wonderful post

Thanks so much, i love this site everyone is so positive, and supportive!!

I too am waiting, tuesday will be 2 weeks, and I too feel the same way, WHAT IF! Hang in there and keep trying to be positive! It will be soon!

Amen sister!! I do the same thing, hang in there, try and celebrate small things, like you didn't eat the whole jar of peanut butter with a whole bottle of chocolate milk. I know it sounds silly but as I am waiting for my surgery date, and trying to fix my food issues, I can only think keep trying, keep trying, like yesterday I ate 4 chocolate kisses, however in the past it would have been handfuls. So I win! LOL

I have to say your first paragraph hit home, I am just starting my journey, and meeting with all the docs etc, and I have never felt so out of control diet wise. I start the day with the best of intentions, but it's like a little voice says oh go ahead, in a couple months it will all change, so you might as well eat it now. I realize as I type this how self destructive this is, I am meeting with a psych doc for clearance and have asked for more meetings to help deal with my anxiety and depression. It is nice to think that this is all part of the path, and I need to take it one hour at a time. Way to go on your peace of mind and I will try prayer, I go to Him all the time with all else!
