You are absolutely right Sweetie. I've been in deep thought about continuing right now because of the food issues and I just cant give up now. I've done EVERYTHING else I needed to do. I have a therapist but unfortunately she's not experienced in handling food addictions or disorders but she tries. In the mean time, I am seeking a professional for help geared toward that. Because I know that if I dont get a handle on it now things are not going to happen the way they should post op. Thank you for sharing! Im happy for you!

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement Running kind of short on it for myself lately. So, I was on a low fat no carb diet for a couple months and the bariatric coordinator and nutritionist decided to get me on all liquid because I wasnt losing too much on it. They and I thought liquid would be a little easier and would help me to lose more not having to worry about portions or what I'd eat every day. Im down 14lbs so I know Im doing something right at least. Still trying to get my appetite in check but from time to time it gets the best of me. Im not at Mickey Ds EVERY day or even every week but the fact that I indulge at all always sets my progress off track. But Im certainly working on it. May I ask, how much did you have to lose pre-op if any? Did u struggle much? Thanks again for your kindness. YOUR avatar pic gave me a good laugh btw

Hi guys, Im new to the site but really glad I found it. Maybe some of you can relate to the madness as well. I've pretty much met all the insurance requirements for the surgery. The only hurdle in my way at this point is losing the 30lbs my surgeon wants me to lose:( Been on a supervised liquid diet for 3wks now and have not stuck with it the whole time. I've been inconsistent. I'll have shakes for most of the day but always find myself getting Mickey Ds or take out. Bottom line, Im a CHEATER! As an admitted food addict and binge eater, I knew the whole diet wouldnt be a breeze. But Im beyond stressed about this whole thing, reading stories of ppl who went under thinking they'd come out with a sucessful surgery only to find out that the surgeon scrapped the procedure cause the liver was still too fatty. Breaking up with food has been harder then I thought. The emotional attachment of it all is so strong, sometimes I think its stronger then my will to get through to the othe side of surgery. Anyone else having emo issues sticking to the diet?? Please share your thoughts, good or bad. PEACE and BLESSINGS
