Pre-op struggle

[mirandameow 4]

Aloha all (whoops- posted this in the lap band section before)

My gastric bypass surgery is scheduled for April 21, 2014. I've done such a good job logging my food and making healthy eating choices since December when I joined my hospitals program, but since actually scheduling my surgery a week ago though I've found it so hard to avoid my old pitfalls. Perhaps now I have, "this is my last chance" mentality- but it is ruining all the work I've done so far. I have had nightmares about gaining weight and then denying me the day if my surgery because of it. This has been a logistic nightmare to plan because I'm a teacher and have to take so much time off work. I would love some encouraging words, stories or tips to get me through my last 29 days before surgery.

Thanks!!

I was so afraid not to follow my doctors instructions completely on pre op for fear I would go through all that and the bowel prep, get there ad he would tell me to go home!!!
