First I want to say good luck with your surgery today! I hope you have a speedy recovery.
I also want to say that you are brave for both recognizing and admitting that you struggle to follow the plan. This surgery will definately test you and it is a very good idea that you see someone to help you stay on track.
The toughest part of life after WLS is the head games. I have a lot of will power, seriously my husband is always reminding me of my stubbornness. When I set my mind to something I get it done.
There are times during the last 2 years that have tested my resolve and most of the time I win. There are times however that I stumble and when I do I am very hard on myself because of it.
My advice would be to seek that advice, you are worth it! Having WLS really is all about changing your life for the better, the surgery just helps you to do that by limiting the quantity of food.
you still have to drive. You have to eat a well balanced, high Protein diet. You still control how often you eat. Many fail because they think the surgery will automatically cause you to lose weight and it will for a very short while. Believe me, that window is really short so leverage that time to change your habits.
Continue to hold yourself accountable as you did here. If you do that, you will be successful.
YOU ARE WORTH IT!
Good luck today!
