I feel like I am drowning in fat.

This is not a very positive post, so I apologise in advance.

I feel like I am drowning in fat.

I am 11 days from surgery day and I wish it was tomorrow.

I think I have a grip on eating in the morning, then I blow it later on in the day.

My whole body is so bloated. I am 33 and feel like I am 80.

I was all proud of myself, got myself down to 271 lbs from 285 in November. Then I had to switch antidepressant medication, and I ended up gaining it all back because it made me soooo incredibly hungry. I stopped taking those meds before I ballooned even more!

Now, I am back at square one, feel completely helpless, starting over again. Everything hurts, everything is bloated, it hurts to walk.......I just don't have it in me anymore to keep yo-yoing like this.

Good Luck tomorrow and you'll just be one month behind me on my own journey through this.

Be sure to check in and let us know how you are after.

Do you have to follow a pre-op diet?
