Congrats. Know that you can do this

It's day 7 and I'm having a hard time today. I haven't cheated, nor will I. I had to fight the smells of food earlier and resort to my carrots and pickle. I noticed I had a great amount of energy on a Friday but I'm super sluggish today. One more week!

It's nice that you have just a week of pre-op. Two is a long time, but at least it's half way over. Lol. Getting more excited???

I am very excited and nervous all at the same time... I feel like a a big bundle of emotions. I was given a 3 day pre-op, but I decided to extend to a week because I figured any weight I can lose now would be great.

I have to start getting focused and ready for this because today I have had the worst cravings for foods I wouldn't even normally eat because of my diabetes. Has this happened to anyone else the week before their surgery?

Thank you! Today has been the weirdest day. I have been craving all the bad evil carb foods that I usually avoid anyway because of my diabetes. I am doing my best to stay strong. I know I can do this!!

I feel for you and I am right there with you on feeling sluggish. I decided to try and quit caffeine so i bought coffee that has lower caffeine levels so I can step down and hopefully avoid major headaches. I haven't had a headache today, but just seem less energetic overall.

Carrots and pickles seem an unusual combination lol what ever helps us stay on tract!! We got this!!

I tend to eat them separately, they're basically the only free food choices I have to eat and I was pretty hungry at that moment, so ate them both. ?

I had my caffeine withdrawal about a month ago or so. I wasn't ready to quit my coffee either. My husband bought the wrong kind, decaf, of course. So I decided to just use it. My taste buds weren't having it in the beginning. Suffered a big headache for about two days. Been good since. I was told to ease off, but I didn't listen.

Starting week 2 of the pre-op diet today. One more week until surgery. [emoji15]

I received a notification on my phone this morning. One week left! How is everyone doing with their nerves? Surprisingly, I don't feel nervous right now. I still haven't wrapped my head around what is going to happen. I'm not sure why though. Have a great Monday, everyone!

Same here. This time next week I'll be driving to the hospital. ?

@esaad I'm excited. I fear this may feel like the "longest" week ever. Lol

How are you doing on your pre-op so far?
