My eating is out of control today & I pretty much hate myself for it. How can I justify this when my surgery is getting closer. I think subconsciously I'm thinking my pre-op diet starts on 10/15. I can't have food for 2 weeks so I might as well live it up while I can. Is this normal? On the bright side I was worrying about losing enough to disqualify myself. If I keep this up that won't be a problem. Hopefully I'll get up with a different aditude tomorrow.

It is normal...I was having the same issue....my surgery date is October 1st and for the past few weeks I have been eating everything in sight! I think I was afraid I would never be able to eat those things again. But I let myself have 2 weeks of pizza, chicken wings, etc.and now the thought of food is no longer consuming me. I don't have a pre-op diet to follow, but I am eating much better for the next 12 days. Its like anything else, the more you can't have it, the more you want it! Don't be too hard on yourself. And good luck with your surgery!

Yea, I went through this also. My surgery is Oct 2 and my preop starts Monday. Without even realizing I was eatting all kinds of unhealthy things constantly. I was even eating sweets something I normally dont do. Then I went to my last visit before surgery and found out I gained 5 pounds!!!! OMG!!! not good. It passed because I just got SICK of eating. I guess Im ready now.

I thinks it's very normal.

I had surgery on the 13 of this month.

But I didn't have to do preop diet, however I did have to lose 10 by the time I went to get my surgery date. Did that,got my appt. And then I felt like I could eat and eat and eat. I gained 5lbs and when I had my last preop class I asked the nurse if that would be a problem. She said if didn't lose it the dr. Would probably have to res schedule that she had seen it done before. You know I was so scared. I did.drop the 5 lbs. Boy was it a close call. Hang in there it'll all be over soon.
