Big Guy 77

Thank you all for your posts. It helped me settle down quite a bit. Hoping more posters send some more thoughts my way. Again, thank you. Looking forward to a new day.

Hi guys, I've been lurking for a bit and finally signed up hoping for some extra support. My surgery date is 2/25. I start my liquid diet on 2/11. I started my research 2 years ago and began this process sept 2014 after I couldn't fit on an amusement park ride my son wanted to ride. Since the first appointment in September I've gained 10 pounds, most of it in the last month since my final clearance appointment. I'm sure I'll lose that weight during the liquid diet, but my wife said to me the other day "your eating like every meal is your last" meaning I'm overeating and having desert (which I rarely used to do). She's right. Something clicked inside that I can't eat the things I love anymore. I know in my head that's not true. I will still be able to enjoy some things just small portions and I'm good with that. To me it's the destination. I need to do this and be there for my 4 year old son. He's my focus. My wife as well. But still I feel that panic. I never doubted I'd be able to make the lifestyle and health changes I need to be successful. Now I'm full of doubt. Again...panic am I doing the right thing? I want to get back under control. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
