This has been a long 6 months! I started out doing so good and making changes slow and for the better! I have also gained through out the 6 months though[emoji17] I have my last dietician apt next week and I'm feeling to a point where I can't do this anymore... I feel at a point where my minds getting strayed away. I also am a smoker and not sure when to quit I have it in the back of my mind but I'm also feeling like my insurance will deny me cause I've gained.... I've wanted this surgery so bad for my health and for my children. I love food and my treats and I worry I'll never be able to have them again [emoji17] uhhh sorry just needed to vent! Anyone else feel this way so close to end

Are you pre -op hon???

Oh yes sorry I'm pre op I have my last dietician apt next week so we'll see what happens

My journey was long and got frustrating as well but I stayed strong quite smoking three months ago surgery date finally May 2 stay strong I took chantx it helped out.

Did you try scheduling some therapy? To talk about these issues of not being able to give up types of food. It is hard to consider. I do find cravings to go away the longer I stay off most carbs, I am pre-op and not perfect but striving for improvement. I had to explore why I wanted to eat, the stress eating was from anxiety and I was trying to self soothe and retreat, didn't want to think about whatever was causing the anxiety. Severe PTSD from abuse. I have struggled with it and have only recently crossed over the 'oh h*!! NO bridge you don't get to control me anymore. Good luck.
