I have been planning gastric sleeve for a few years. I took nutrition classes and did a lot of reading, but due to Covid it has been put on hold since April. Then pretty suddenly the doctor’s office called and scheduled it one week out. I jumped on it, but now I feel unprepared. Like I cheated somehow. there are no in person support groups right now. I know to during at least 70 ounces of protein a day from my shakes and water with a tiny bit of juice in it. I feel OK, like others said, It was nice with the pain pump, but the pills have been OK. I have this strange feeling like I should be working out a lot, or hating the food I eat. I feel like I should be suffering a lot more, like I have in the past when trying to loose weight. I have an ominous feeling of impending doom, like I’m not punishing myself or I’m not trying hard enough. I don’t want to get near the scale. The scale and I have had many issues in the past. So Is this it? For the next 2 weeks I just drink shakes ?

Thank you to both of you, I am going to find a counselor, I thought I was ready, the surgeon gave a list of phase 2 for post of, liquid protein and water

Sounds inspirational... I’m 3 days out of surgery and I keep doubting myself, like there should be more I should be doing
