I will be having the gastric sleeve in 24 days. I have already been approved by insurance and my leave from work is approved. Until this point I have been so motivated and excited and now that everything is set I'm finding it sooooo hard to stay on track. Did this happen to anyone else? If so how did you get back on track? I'm really struggling and I need some help!

Yes! Once I had my date, I started cheating on the diet even more. It's like I wanted to eat everything I thought that I would never eat again. I was having food funerals. I only got back on track three days before my surgery. I realize this was something I really wanted and that food is not my happiness. Get focus and think deep about the future you want.

I feel the same way! I feel like I'm never gonna have certain things so I have to eat it all now and that's so bad. Then I feel bad after eating it and I'm reminded that this is the very feeling that made me start this journey to begin with. It's definitely a battle but I'm gonna talk to my Dr on Monday about it

I think I've gained about that much too. I have been going to weight management and trying to complete all the requirements for surgery since April so I think part of it is losing patience and kinda being over the waiting game. And though 24 days Isn't forever it still just feels too damn far away lol. I really need to get on mostly liquids next week to prepare. What drinks do you use?

I'm going to be completely honest with you. I went ape sh*t before my surgery. Once i got a date i got this deep seeded fear of missing out. Which is ironic because I had that feeling when fighting forward through the appointments and waiting for insurance approval. I think that's just human nature. 24 days seems like forever but time goes by so incredibly fast.

I had 5 days of crazy food funerals prior to the start of my two week liquid diet. I cheated a couple of times on the liquid, mostly with Protein, but was 100% the last 5 days. I lost 25lbs during those 2 weeks.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
