Whatever Attitude!

[candyce 14]

After u realized u were getting the surgery did anyone get the I don't care attitude about what u were eating? I am normally really good at making good choices but lately it seems like im not thinking about what I'm eating as much

I did till I saw the NUT for the first time...and she laid the "law" down as far as my particular program requirements...then I followed her suggestions because I didn't want anything getting in the way of me having surgery...

I sure don't want to sound "holier than thou", but for me, it was just the opposite. After I made the decision to get the sleeve, for me it was an acceptance that I was going to make a fundamental change with my relationship with food.

I did have a "last meal" at my favorite german restaurant (which turned out to be sooo disappointing). But I think it was like an alcoholic. Once you admit you have a problem, you can't go back to drinking the same way again.

My surgeon was so against that to the point if we gained weight he would cancelled the surgery. So even if I wanted to I was way to scared to.

We were to lose weight each month, and if we gain weight after our approval any time before surgery, he will cancel. He has gone into surgery and opened up a patient and could tell they didn't follow the 14 day shake diet and closed the patient up.

I start my two week pre-op shakes on May 21st and I admit, I want to go to the movies and get some popcorn and I want to go out to my favorite restaurant within the next week. I am still following my diet because I want this to become a lifestyle not a diet, not a surgery with regain. I've seen so many people that had gastric bypass that gained a whole lot of weight back and I am not doing that, though I'm getting the sleeve.

I don't even have a surgery date yet but I have talked to the NUT but I just feel like whatever sometimes.. I do eat smart like whole grains and stuff but I tend to over eat

Well, I didn't watch my portions. She didn't ask me to. She wasn't out to make me lose weight necessarily. Just not gain. What she did ask me to do in preparation for surgery was not drink carbonated drinks, only sf tea, and only drink juices that were low cal. Basically not to "drink" my calories...and I lost 10 lbs just doing that.
