With less than an week away until my surgery I am feeling almost over wrought with emotion. Probably making my will at this time is not helping, but that is something I had put off for too long.

Last night I had a cheat on my pre op. It is of no consequence what I ate, but I really made the choice to eat it. I felt entitled because I had started the diet a week earlier than I needed to. I am back on this morning and don't feel like I have compromised my surgery in any way. I am so sick of yougurt and cottage cheese that I would rather not eat at all.

This morning I had a good cry with DH before I left for work. HAd to tell my daughter my eyes were red because of a sad part of the book I was reading. I really don't want to alarm her or think I am scared because she will be scared as a result.

Hope I start to feel better soon.

Indeed! 1 more week.

Maybe I'll get a chance to say Hi to you on May 4th, Jannet. My surgery is right after yours.

I am actually doing pretty good today with my pre-op diet. Hope this continues.

Well done Susansilver: Keep up your spirits. I don't think we would be overweight if part of the problem was not the "emotional" thing. Don't let your mind take over. Keep in charge. You will be fine. C........h.....a.........r.......g..........e! to the finish line. Doddie

Susansilver,

i remember going through the same thing too! I was sick of yoghurt and cottage cheese to the point that I too did not want to eat it. I was nervous and excited. Time seemed to slow down those last few days but pretty soon you will be "on the other side" too!! You and all the others preparing for the procedure will be just fine!

Mr. Yoda: please let us know how your recipe of yoghurt and Jello works out!
