6 more days and I'm kinda freaking out

[madisunshine1 128]

Tuesday 6/7 is my surgery day. I'm starting to get anxious. I've been working through my emotional eating and the whys and ins and outs. I've been in counseling for the last two years. I've noticed how MUCH I put food in my mouth and how food is such a clutch and "friend" to me. It has been my whole life. I'm also so READY and so excited for this surgery and can't wait to see results and finally have this tool. It's the last resort. I've done everything. I'm 24. I have a two year old. I'm in school full time and work full time. I have 9 days off. I'm anxious about recovery. The physical and the emotional and mental aspect.

I'm also diabetic and need this surgery to get my diabetes under control.

Please. Any encouragement? Any advice? Anything. I'm getting anxious. Two years ago I had a traumatic emergency surgery. It was terrible and scarring so I think that's a trigger.

I have no pre op diet just a 24 hour. I've ordered unflavored Protein to put on Jello and in broth for first week.

Any food addicts out there that have done really well? I cannot fail.

I think most of us are food addicts. You sound well prepared - I'm sure you'll do great. Just don't overdo it post-op - you will need time to rest and take care of yourself.
