Hey loves! So I have been watching youtube videos on vsg surgery trying to soak up the good, bad and ugly sides of wls. My emotions are all over the place because I am excited and scared to go through with the procedure! The fear of not eating, cause fasting for a hour has me feeling like I'm about to disappear! lol I'm so worried about self discipline and my eating habits. Hoping that my cravings go away after surgery but most importantly, I am trying to get my mind right because I know it is mind over matter, BUT food is so got damn good and it is so hard to break these habits.

When you're used to eating whatever you want it's so hard to put the training wheels on and restrict yourself and form new better habits. Unfortunate but true.

Currently I am trying to do intermittent fasting and that made me feel like I lost 100lbs from not eating and going through comfort food withdrawal....the struggle is real.

My surgery is scheduled for 2/12/18 and I am trying to jump start my diet because effective 1/29 I start the all liquid diet.

Wishing you a safe effective procedure and a quick recovery:) I feel your pain...the struggle is real:)

As of last night when I saw this episode, I now have a new piece of advice to us all who are about to do WLS or who've already burst through to the other side...

Don't penny your WLS!!! ((hugs)) Here's a reddit post that kinda explains in a nutshell about how Penny Saeger squandered her golden shot at WLS...I pray that I won't be that girl.

Don't be that girl. Mkay?

I will not be that girl. For one, she's a religious loon and ya know i'm SO not. Bahahahahaha! For two...her little boy is adorable and I want to shake the crap out of her for minimizing the toll her choices are having on him. For three...her poor dopey husband is so kind, I just hate her for how she treats him. Then again...he's an enabler from another planet...so what can you do? It's like she had all the right answers....until after the surgery when she turned into a snarky twit. And her telling the EMTs she's lost three hundred pounds! What a freakin liar.

She's nuthin' but a bad Penny.

Adjust Your Crown? Please forgive us for our side rant. LOLOLOL.
