Happy Holidays,

I didn't think of myself as a food funeral kind of person, but lately I've been eating a lot. I'm trying to keep it under control but the closer i get to the liquid diet stage, I'm feeling less in control of what i'm eating...anyone else have this issue?

I did this too...for several months, got to lose an extra 7 pounds now that I've started my pre-op

Oh yes!! Eating like crazy but feeling guilty afterwards. I can not wait ( well i can) to be able to not feel hungry for a while. I am blessed to be able to receive the tool. Just soooo many emotions...

My last weigh in on the supervised diet was 5lbs heavier than the month before. Now i'm 7lbs heavier than that....I know this and even though it upsets me I've been pigging out of the skinny cow caramels. I think I'm just completely stressed out over the upcoming surgery and food makes me feel better...and then worse because it's not really helping w/ the whole losing weight thing....

hello everyone

I went today to sign my consent forms and preop testing. Feb 8th is approaching... just nerves and a little concerned that i dont feel the way i thought I would about the surgery... meaning happy, excited, kid waiting to go to disney world! .. maybe its my body preparing me...

I've past the excited and positive outlook stage as well. I"m in the 'trying not to talk myself out of it' phase. I know this is what I want but there's a lot of fear and doubt creeping in and with the understanding that the next 3 months may just suck...it's no wonder this is no trip to disney for me.

Right there with you :-(

I'm waiting on ins approval but I asked the dr for a date in Feb. I'm from Northern NJ. As many of u guys mentioned, VST has become an obsession for me. This is a very serious journey we all chose the take and I find comfort in knowing we all share the same emotions. Once/hopefully I get approved I'm dumping Facebook! U guys will b stuck with me! Lol! I wish u all the best of luck!

This is EXACTLY how I'm feeling! I'm trying not to let doubt and fear override my year long fight to get this surgery... But I'm struggling. I know I won't back out of it, but I'm just getting to the really scared and overwhelmed part. Glad I'm not alone;)

Right there with you :-(

I hear ya - feel the same way but we can not live with regret we must learn from our decisions and be happy with whatever comes

H.s... choose the 8th!!! And get rid of FB!.. we love to have you here full time!!!!

Yesssss Feb 6th i can't wait!

Looks like I will have some catching up to do. I was originally scheduled for my sleeve on Jan 14th but I came down with a pretty bad ear infection the day before. I met with my surgeon today and my new date is Feb 4th. I've decided to stay on the pre-op diet until then. So far I am down 18 pounds from my highest and 12 pounds from the start of my pre-op. it will be roughly 33 days of pre-op dieting. So far is hasn't been bad, it's becoming second nature and I no longer deal with head hunger. The first 4 days was the worst part.

I look forward to getting to know all the fellow Feb sleevers.

Yes! I want to eat everything and don't feel too bad about it. I just keep thinking about the liquid diet and not being able to eat real food for several months so I just eat what I want. I still watch somewhat of what I eat but if I want something then I just have it.

February 13th surgery date! Can it really be only a few weeks away?!
