Great job! You are inspiring

I have been known lately to let my dogs help me finish something because I hate leaving those last 2 bites. Before surgery they didn't get much off my plate.That idea is why I love my bulldog!! She is my fuzzy garbage disposal. I don't feel like I am wasting anything. And these days there are so many good garbage disposals looking for homes at shelters!! Take one home with your burrito bowl lol!!

Depression is very common after WLS. Just because your day looks good doesn't mean that you will feel good. When I don't have the extra food I don't know what kinds I feelings will rise up. Who knows how you ate supposed to feel. All I an do today is accept where I am at and pray for guidance. I hope you know that you have people who care.

Mine is the 10th too! I haven't told work yet but I have everything else set up. I'm really excited and I wish it would get here and I would be healed up sooner!! My birthday is on the 27th so I joke that my bday cake will be a Protein Drink this year lol.

I am cash pay and so it's not for approval. I have a parent who is mentally ill who I have cut off contact with. I am still sent threats etc and disturbing things by her so it's probably just in my best interest to be seeing someone on a regular basis while I have surgery.
food is the way I coped with the abuse for my whole life. The therapist even asked if I had PTSD. I will need all the support I can get while I get through this.

This was after the psych eval. She wants me to get set up with regular therapy for long term.

Did anyone have to get a letter stating that they were set up with a therapist prior to surgery? I have a history of anxiety and was abused as a child which is part of the reason I ate. When I went for evaluation I was told that I needed to get set up with a therapist to have surgery.

Since making the mental decision to have the surgery and starting all the testing I have just stopped all of the ridiculous dieting that I usually do until I start my pre op diet.

I'm not on pre op diet yet but I Am eating like I will never eat again! It's partly anxiety and partly just that old Sunday night before the diet thinking.

I have a bulldog who always stays next to me and is a huge jumper. She will be staying at doggy camp for a few days so that I can have a break from her and I don't have to worry about walking her and feeding etc. also in case of any problems she will be in good hands.

You are a brave woman and a great example! Any health professional and I mean professional would just be happy that you took a step to loose weight and take care of your health! That woman is obviously not aware of the fact that if you could have just worked out and lost weight you would have.
Be proud and know that she is probnly exaggerating her own accomplishments with her clients.
