Like many, I have been overweight for most of my life. I have tried Weight Watchers, Metabolic Weight Loss, Personal Trainers, Diet pills, and numerous other "fad" diets with little to no results. I made the desicion in 2012 to have Gastric Sleeve Surgery to get myself to a healthy and comfortable weight. I went through the required 6 months of doctor visits and phyciatric evaluation, and I am scheduled for surgery on Monday 11-12-12.
I always knew that surgery was a life changing experience, but it wasn't until the Pre Op diet that I realized the changes my life was go through. I have been doing the Pre Op diet for 5 days now. (My doctor's office requires a 10 day Pre Op diet.) I have not really been hungry, but I have most definately not been satisfied. I feel like I am in panic mode at this point. I keep finding different things that will, in my mind, never be the same again. I know that this surgery is what I want and that I need something to drastically in change my life before I am barely able to move around. However, I can't help feeling a bit of loss for the lifestyle I have been living.
Has anyone else felt these emotions? Is this a normal reaction or is my brain going crazy over the lack of carbohydrates?
Thanks in advance for any advice/encouragement!
