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! :-(

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

No.. 10 day liquid pre op.. Today's the last day and I'm so exhausted and emotional I can bar ally move

I think they are awaiting my approval before we get really deep in it but I am ready. I believe when they give me the diet and the approval come I will be ok. I just am so worried waiting.

My clinic also will cancel surgery if you don't meet your goals. Since I was low BMI (36) I was order to not gain anything. Others had to lose a certain amount to shrink their liver before surgery. If you have gained weight, it adds complications to the surgery because your liver gets in the way of removing the stomach. Chin up and do what you need to do. Best of luck to you.

NMGJ - when is your surgery?

I agree with starr1202. My physician told me it is not unusual for folks to gain weight prior to their surgery date. I did...13 pounds worth.

I had never heard the expression "food funeral". I like it. Now realize that that must have been what I went through. Silly me 'cause now I know that there is no food that I have had to say good bye to. I just needed to change from the old, large amount that I used to eat. Not everyone can tolerate all their old food friends but I can. I only wish I had known that as I waited for surgery 'cause I would have not gained the 14 pounds I just needed to lose again!
