Well we can keep up with each other. What kind of diets will you be on

OOOOOooooo - I am excited to say I am the 17th!!!!

Started Pre-op diet yesterday

I'm on the 18th as well

Yaaay congrats! ????

I'm having shakes and soups as 3 meal replacements and 4 cups of vegetables and salads total per day. I have my pre op surgeons appt tomorrow morning. I just want to be 2 weeks post op and have it over n done with. Day by day

I am Nov 19th started liquid diet yesterday.

Did a lot of planning, making sure my family would have enough food for the month of November. Now that I have finish planning and have nothing but my thoughts, I am feeling a little depressed. Not sure why, but while I was running around trying to make sure that everything was set for my family, I didn't have to really think about much. But now everything is done and I feel like focusing on myself is making me depressed. I saw a woman at my job yesterday eating a bag of chips and I thought to myself I'm going to miss some salt vinegar chips. I'm scared, I'm scared of not being able to eat the foods I want to eat, I'm scared of the pain after the surgery, i'm scared of something going wrong during the surgery, I'm scared of not being successful. Having second thoughts. Just woke up feeling like I wanted to cry. Not to mention I am hungry and I don't feel well. The waiting for the surgery is the worst. The days are going by so slow. I keep looking at the calendar.

I'm going to pray for you today. I'm sure you're gonna be just fine! Sending a :) your way!

I know exactly how you are feeling. I'm only starting day 3 of the diet and yesterday was Melbourne Cup here in Australia, which is a huge day and there were tables of food set up everywhere at work, I stuck to carrots n celery but then it made me so depressed as I started over thinking the negatives of things that I'm going to be missing out on. But I know the positives will be better, but yes I started to second guess myself. One day at a time :)

I know that this is the right thing for me to change my life and to be a better parent and interact with my kids more. That is a better feeling than anything else.
