Guys I am having a real hard time today. I have to lose 4-5 lbs by June 15th or I don't get a surgery date until I do. I did really good losing the first 5 lbs and fell off the wagon a little last week and really off this weekend. I didn't really overeat I just didn't stick to my diet plan. During the week last week I emotionally ate several times. Again not overeating but not sticking to my diet plan. I am supposed to be doing slim fast to try and get rid of this last 5 lbs. I did do all my exercise this weekend though.

Today I am starving. I have had my slim fast shake, my Protein shake, and a banana. If I can't go a whole day on just slim fast shakes how am going to do the 3 weeks of liquid after surgery?

Emotionally I am a wreck. I feel like I am never going to be able to do this. That I don't have the willpower. I am destined to be fat. Since starting this journey in April I have never felt so down or defeated (or hungry). I am in danger of screwing up again today because I really am that hungry. I feel like I am going to fall over if I don't eat something more. :thumbup:

Who else struggles with emotional eating, not overeating per say but making bad food choices because you are upset or down?

Quick update. I had my weigh in this morning and i missed weight by 1 lb. They said it was ok as long as I had lost the 1 lb by my pre op appointment (no problem).

I have to do a final set of labs Wed morning and then I get my pre op appt date and then I will get my surgery date. It looks like I am going to be a July sleever!!!!

Now I need to browse on what to buy for surgery, after surgery, and what to pack......

Whoo hoo, well done! I packed loose stuff, didn't want anything chafing.

:confused1:

Way to go! I knew you could do it.

CONGRATULATIONS ... as to what to buy, what to pack, etc., I can PM you the list that my doctor's nurse sent me -- it would at least be a start and give you an idea ... let me know. I still have it handy and refer to it upon occasion.

Hi Guys,

I wanted to check in. I have been so busy with a project at work that I am working on it in the evenings also. It is done! I thought I would never complete it. It better earn me a bonus.

It looks like my surgery will be in late August. I will know next week and hopefully be on more supporting others.

Vegas if you could pm me that list I would be a very happy almost sleeved girl.

Congrats on getting your project done, I'm sure that is a relief. And, of course, congrats on your upcoming surgery!

Great!! I am glad that your determination paid off. Hope to hear from you post-op to see how you are doing.
