Is this self sabotage or what? Has this happened to you? Every since I found out I was approved, I've been eating everything! I hate this! :-(

Well I had to do the pre-op twice because they cancelled the first time due to an emergency...I had lost 27 lbs. up to that point....I kinda went a little nuts...I started a food funeral and then did not lose anymore....The day of the last appointment..I had lost an additional 1oz...The nurse in charge said she did not think I would be sleeved because I did not lose a lot the second visit....Why would I...I was at a food funeral...

She phoned up the surgeon in front of me and said that since I kept the original 27 lbs. off that it was a go...I was scared for a minute there.....So no and yes kinda!!!!!

I only lost 4, but, my doctor doesn't really put us on a "really" strict diet to begin with.

Sounds like self sabbotage based on fear of the unknown. I haven't GAINED pre op, but I've only lost 11 lbs in 90 days since I was approved. Since I'm self pay/ Mexico, it's not mandatory that I lose weight pre op. so I've not been 100% dieting 100% of the time.

It's all in the mind... U have to gain control if u really want this.

Today started my 14 day pre op diet and I will absolutely not be cheating at all what so ever. It's game on now. We've waited all our lives to be free from this unwanted, unhealthy body fat... Lets do this for ourselves! We deserve it!!! Good luck!

YES! That's the perfect way to describe my mind set right now. My first Nutrition meeting isn't until October 30. Lol, it's like my mind keeps telling me, go ahead and eat, it's the last time you'll get to eat it, EVERRRRR.

The Food funeral, that is.

That was a close call! I think when I start nutrition, my diet will be more structured. And the one on one support would be very helpful.

The thing is...is that you will be able to eat anything you want after your sleeve heals and time goes by.....Just not the amount you can eat now....

I am not sad that I had my food funeral..A lot of people do.....I think as the 11 months went by I might have dealt with it differently.....160 lbs. lost is not sabotage... Feels like success to me!!!!

I gained 14 pounds my nut told me what I was doing was completely normal that many do it. I was eating everything that I thought I could never have again. I had no issues as far as my weight gain and the surgery

Which is why IMHO our hardest job is our heads. If we get control of our minds, the sleeve will absolutely work. As Laura says, keep you head in the game!

The week before my preop diet I practically ate myself sick! I'm an all or nothing kind of girl so I drank as much diet pepsi as I could until 11:59 pm and ate two bags of stacys cinnamon sugar pita chips! Those are things I will never consume again. Now that I'm on day 9 of preop I don't miss any of it.. I just want a hamburger! ! Lol...monday is the big day. I have a great time slot check in at 11:00 am... not to early but not gonna starve all day either. Good luck to all!

Lol! Ikr? Did u have to do a 3-6 month diet plan before that?

That is so crazy because I am awaiting my approval and I eat like crazy. I am so ready to get this over with. My surgery tentative date is 12/17. Ugggghhh.

I know at my clinic if you gain any weight they will cancel your surgery , I will be very careful. And if you can see if you can go on a liquid diet to loose the extra weight. Good luck.

_{I've gained about 5 pounds since my 1st Nut visit. I had my 2nd visit yesterday and I was so afraid they would be talking about how I gained, and If I really want this I need to stick to the plan etc...But it was totally different actually. They didn't even mention the weight gain and concentrated more on new behaviors I should start. I have my 3rd visit in 3 weeks and I plan to lose those 7 pounds not for them but because I really need to stick to the plan. However until I get my approval Im making sure I stay at a BMI of at least 40. I don't want to take any chances with the insurance.}
