Hi all! I'm scheduled for August 14... everything's seems a bit surreal for me... I was so worked up about getting insurance approval and making sure I have it a few weeks before the school year starts..that I find myself wondering if I can pull through and get through this preop diet first and foremost. I think I'm in panic mode and not thinking how I should. Today was first day of preop and I failed miserably...I ate a few bites of chicken and half a peach....I'm feeling really scared and second guessing everything now. I hope tommorow is a better day:( Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Okay...I'm sort of in panic mode (takes deep breath). I have surgery scheduled for the 14th of August. I started my preop diet today and immediately started feeling depressed...like it hit me..I will not be eating any fruit any meat etc etc! Not ever again but for a long time! I feel so down... I just went to bed and pulled the blanket over my head and stayed there. I eventually got up to pee and on my way back to my sad place I just grabbed some chicken stirfry from the kitchen and ate a good few bites... I went back to bed opened this forum feeling like ****.. like what in God's name is wrong with me? I couldn't even last a few hours before failing. And to top it off I seen a post about binge eating on this forum talking about how if you can't control yourself you Will gain all the weight back and that you will find a way to self sabotage. The thing is I am the QUEEN of self sabotage. I'm so scared and disappointed in myself. Am I making a mistake with going ahead with the surgery?? If I always self sabotage doesn't that mean that I will fail with the sleeve? Pleeeease help...I don't know what to do or think anymore Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

What about protien powder? Which is better? And more financially efficient? I don't want to buy things that I won't use or are not the best. Another way to say it is I want the best and I'll buy it no matter the costs...just don't want to waste money on useless things that I won't use or consume. I honestly haven't recieved anything from my surgeon or nutritionist. I am scheduled to go on the 7th of Aug to a class all about the surgery.. it's 4 hours long...I feel panicky but hopefully Monday when I have this class I won't be so stressed.

Very nervous but excited to begin this journey. It's been a longggg time coming. My highest weight was 313 pounds. Not sure where I'm starting but could be around 300. I am choosing to not weigh myself except for doctors appointments. So I don't dwell on the numbers too much. At least that's the plan...as of now. I'm 5'4 and my goal is to reach 199 lbs. My ultimate goal would honestly be 180 lbs. I'm not looking to become as skinny as possible. I just want to be healthy...anyone else scheduled for Aug 14?

Hello everyone, I am already finished with all preop requirements and the surgeons office sent in my documents to my insurance for approval.. I started in feb And was hoping I would be able to have surgery end of July but doesn't look like it will...soo hopefully august. It's just I've been so worried abt getting all requirements in and now that it's done I'm panicking abt the actual surgery and how I'm not ready. I have been eating so much for 2 weeks now just stress eating and having "food funerals"... I don't know how to deal. I feel like I should get my head in the game. I go back to work beginning of Sept. And I'm worried about everything.... ugh I don't know does anyone have any words of wisdom here? Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app
