Making a List

I was supposed to see my doctor today, but I have 2 sick kids at home. This would have been the first actual visit with my doctor since the pre-op exam and education. I have been making a list of all the things I want to talk to him about. One of the things is his opinion on a psych consultation. I have had a bit of anxiety, but mostly just trying to figure out what I relationship is to food. Sometimes I feel like I have a decent relationship with food, then I think it is a bit extreme. I do not gorge myself ever, but I do have a sweet tooth. One of my things is avoiding the sweets, but I have been pretty decent this past month.

Another thing on my list is the pre-op diet, the protein intake afterwards, drinks, etc.

I, of course, have found this site to be my best resource for resources. Thanks for everyone here. I will keep reading and adding to the list.

Just got off the phone with the doctors office, now I go in on Thursday. YAY!

I didn't have any anxiety or depression pre-op, but I will admit that I went through some "mourning" post-op. It wasn't so much the food I missed, it was that everything in my life revolved around food. We celebrated with food, when we grieve food was a big participant, when we were bored food filled that void. See where I'm going?

It was a tough pill to swallow to say the least, but it did pass. My mindset went from "live to eat" to "eat to live".

Good luck on Thursday ! ! !
