Honey, my heart is with you :) I'm on day 2 of my diet as well and definitely feeling emotional. Everywhere I look I see things I can't eat, but I know this is all temporary and that it's so worth it for this amazing gift we're being given :)

Oh no! I am awaiting a date, and dreading my pre-op diet. I work in a place that has lots of treats and eating poorly. I don't want to be a difficult person during my diet, but I can tell it's going to be a rough time. It's good practice for permanent changes! I I hope your hubby comes around!!

I'm been on pre-op for about 6 days now, and the only way I made it was by going somewhere else whenever I knew food time was coming for everyone else. I'd either go to my room and light up a flower scented candle or something of the sort, or step out and run some errands, or go for a walk. Trust me I know it's hard. But keep reminding yourself of how great you are going to feel when you make it to your goal!

I swear they do that on purpose. My husband and I nearly had a domestic over little Debbie's. She is banned from our house and he brought them home because he thought I might want them! Sabotage. I had to sit him down and seriously talk to him.

I know exactly what you mean! But that has not just happened to me during pre-op. But during any diets I've ever tried, it's like my family has always influences my self - sabotaging attitude

Hi Kelsnikol, you've had surgery and your body including hormones are going through things, that will take time to heal. You may be emotional for a while and begin to feel weak. This will pass, your strength will come back and hormones will be back to normal. Speaking from experience, you may want to talk to hubby about more support. My husband was not a fan of my choice. He liked me just the way I was. He was good in the beginning, but as the weight started coming off, he began to bring home little bags of chips, chocolate, Cookies and donuts. I finally had to sit him down and ask that he not bring that sort of food in the house. I realize it was his choice to eat like that, thought I wish he wouldn't. It took a while, but eventually he got the idea and his attempts to sabatoge stopped. Your going through the hard part, and need all the help you can get. Talk to hubby, now is not the time to smell pizza. Good Luck, and I hope you start feeling better soon. Keep posting

Yeah I work where they have alot of dinners and Snacks too lol I have been staying away from the break room really. And we had a talk, he says this is all new for him too. And he is having somewhat.of a difficult time being concerned with my safety...I had a bad day at work so im sure alot of those emotions came out on top of being on that lovely period...dang hormones I feel a lil better after I vented about my crappy day to him though! Pre op diet sucks but not being prepared.probably sucks worse. Its all about.choices and im ready to be healthy so I can hopefully have a baby in a couple of years. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
