Ebony Rose 133 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Wow I can not believe tomorrow is my surgery! I remember 4 weeks ago when the doc gave me this date I thought it was ages away. But now its only one sleep away. Honestly I've been average on the pre-op diet. Only doing two meals replaced a day and sometimes not the best choices for the other meal and some Snacks. But I have made a lot of positive changes to my habits. As for emotionally I've been in therapy for 3 years, I have Complex Post Traumtric Stress Disorder from childhoold aduse (won't go into detail but a really horrible childhood). I depended on food to get through it, I used food to help me hide my pain and memories through my teens and 20's but now I've learned new ways to tackle life and food has a lesser grip on me. I think more clearly before eating, I don't binge everyday. I'm not perfect! I still make mistakes with food but I'm happy with where I am before this surgery. My pyshratric Doc sent of my back ground to the hospital so the recovery nurses will know I can be triggered by waking up and being in a different environment. The ward is happy for my hubby to stay overnight in my room to help me if memories and anxiety are triggered. So I'm set. Sister in law comes tonight to stay with my kids. Just need to finish my bag. Yeek it's here! I'm down 4kg (about 8ish pounds) in preop. My mind is struggling with the fact I'm going to lose weight... it's like "what??" In my life I haven't lost more than 15kg but then put it back on.. my mind is struggling with the concept.. Edited October 7, 2016 by Ebony Rose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sirmikael 59 Posted October 7, 2016 Good luck tomorrow, and post here after you're awake and feeling well enough. My surgery was last Monday, and I had the same feelings of not believing the day was approaching. Now I'm healing, and I worry less about weight loss and more about getting in my Protein and fluids.
