Ok, so I know food funerals are part of the journey but why am I so out of control? I'm scheduled for 5/5 and definitely have my eye on the prize, but could I be secretly sabotaging myself? I've noticed myself eating carelessly and can't seem to stop. Any words if wisdom?

People often have a food funeral. I know I did. what I didn't realize that I can eat just about anything I want in smaller portions then before. I have a few things that hate my sleeve but I can live without them. I kept the funerals to meals only. Had this and then the next day that. I felt it was necessary.

In a sense your fears are starting to surface but they are unwarranted. The reason we are where we are is because of food addictions and so we turn to it in times of crisis.

Pull back, breath deeply and have a treat at dinner if you have to. The more weight you gain the more you will have to take off after surgery.That just sucks. But I understand why your doing it. There is a whole new world waiting for you out there. It is time! I almost always am thankful for my sleeve. It helps me to not over eat anything that used to be my favorites and yet I can still enjoy them in moderation and balance!

Stop the fear and go forward. You got this! K

I agree with RJ because your fearing your never eat the way you did before surgury I have my surgery on 5/5/14 and what I do now is drink 72 ounces of water throughout the dat, exercise and have a bite of something I really want and that's it. You can always snack on sugarfree pudding, pop sicker
