I'm sooo ready! I have blood work on the 14th, meet with my surgeon 1 more time on the 16th and surgery on the 4th. I scheduled 3 weeks off work. May be too much time but better than not enough!

He sounds a lot like my ex husband! Just don't let him make you feel guilty about a decision HE made.

Here's a plan I learned about for getting carbs and cravings under control, and getting that feeling of restriction back:
--if you don't have a myfitnesspal.com (or similar) account, create one and commit to logging everything you eat. Make sure you have a good digital kitchen scale and measuring cups and commit to weighing or measuring everything you eat.
--on myfitnesspal, set your calorie limit to what you think is your maintenance amount, but make sure your carbs are no more than 25% of your total calories.
--for three days, eat nothing but lean meat that is cooked at home, green veggies, and small amounts of healthy fat. Don't worry about the amount that you eat or whether you are going over your calorie limit -- it is the type of food that you need to restrict.
--for the next three days, eat the same foods but lower your calorie limit on MFP by a couple hundred calories per day -- and stick within your limits.
--after three days, expand your food choices to include fruit, dairy, Beans, nuts etc. as long as you keep within your calorie and carb limits. Eat Protein first at all meals and snack ONLY on high protein foods and green veggies.
--if you aren't losing weight after a couple of weeks, lower your calorie intake by a couple of hundred calories per day.
--exercise is great but don't give yourself too much credit for it -- don't "eat back" more than a couple hundred calories per day.
Other options you may want to consider are 5/2 intermittent fasting (check the stickies at the top of the Veterans' board for more info) and the "Five Day Pouch Test" -- just google that one for more info.
Good luck to you!
