I see the surgeon tomorrow for my final pre-op appointment. I've worked very hard to lose weight prior to surgery and get my head in the right place. Today my dog died. I want to eat everything. I know post surgery I'm not going to be able to eat my feelings.
Thanks for the support. Loving old dogs is hard! Having to make the loving decision to let them go is heart breaking.
I powered through last night without stuffing myself. I made a cup of decaf coffee with cream and sf syrup. I know emotional eating is my trigger and this is learning how to manage the stresses of life without stuffing it with food.
Glad to be here!
My doc still recommends Premier Protein for the liquid portion of the diet. I like the vanilla as it's easy to alter taste with sugar free syrup. I also bought instant decaf coffee and dissolve a small amount in hot Water then add to the drink.
Also HATE calling them "shakes". Nope, not even close.
