I need support: Struggling with control before my pre-op



Recommended Posts

Hello all. All of a sudden, I’m struggling with self control regarding sweets. Mind you, I have lost 41 pounds during the 6 month medically supervised weight loss that my insurance required me to have before approval for WLS. I don’t know if it’s because mentally I think “this is my last hurrah” before I buckle down and do my two weeks per op diet. I’m just needing some words of wisdom so if anyone has any, I’d love to hear them! Thanks in advance. [emoji17]

If you’re feeling like temptation is there, just step back, breathe and tell yourself this is all for a reason.

This is for your surgery to make sure your surgeon has the best tool he can work with, you’re his tool. And in return he will give you a tool so you can love your life in the healthiest way possible.

Dont worry, we have all been there and it’s hard. But you can do it!

I understand completely. I mildly indulged in carbs before my pre-op and now I feel like I am paying for it in my pre-op. I have had really bad headaches from carb withdrawl. I think its normal but do understand it will make your pre-op all the much harder.
