Hi everyone! I'm new here. I started my process on May and last week we set my surgery date for Aug. 14th!!!!

I lost around 9 kg since my first appointment but right after we set the date my anxiety took over my brain and i started eating junk, my excuse has been "well in one week you start the liquid diet so you should enjoy food now" which I know is stupid because i'm doing this to change my life and my habits, today i told my brain NO and went back to my diet, I hope i didn't mess up my weight this past few days because I have to stay on the same weight or less or the surgery will be moved or cancelled. Anyone else had this problem before the surgery?

I had my share of food funerals lol. I gained some weight from that and re-lost the weight even though they did weigh me and took note of that but they didn't send that information to my insurance. They just recorded the losses and sent those in. I had the same mentality but snapped out of it.

I had my temptations. My way of dealing with it was to acknowledge that these things were going on and recognize potential traps. Where is the food coming from that you were tempted with?

My temptations were "extra" food that lingered around the house like popcorn and cheesecake in the freezer, and fast food coupons almost giving the food away for free. Then it was to promise myself to eat what I was supposed to and see how bad the temptation was then.

Good luck, I'm post op less than a week and still struggle with the same temptations. Thankfully I am able to feel full most of the time so it's easier to say no to.

Well i come from a family where everything revolves around food. Except me and my brother everyone else in the family is "normal" sized so they eat a lot and drink and don't think about it. I learnt that from them.
And its not that there's junk food in the house but, i walked by a Starbucks the other day for example and thought "well i wont be able to get my favorite drink anymore" and without even thinking it twice i found myself walking through the door. And just like that with small things that together are a lot.
Today i put a stop and thought "its enough, you are so close don't ruin it" and I went back on my diet. We'll see how it goes.
