My surgery is May 25th, a mere 20 days away,
and I don't want to gain any weight before then. BUT it has been a challenge!
I have been trying to acquire some of the eating habits that will soon take over my life, and I have failed....miserably...And then I found myself doubting my abilities to do what I'm supposed to do AFTER surgery. I mean, mentally, I feel I'm ready.
I understand the ramifications of surgery and that AFTER surgery, I will be restricted to what I can eat.....but NOW, I'm not restricted, and I'm finding it so difficult to practice self control especially knowing that soon, I'll be very limited to what and how much I can eat (which I am actually excited about!!). Now, some would say, "Well, if you can't handle the preop, you shouldn't have the surgery..." While I sorta resent those comments, I can't help but wonder if they are right. But my mind is telling me that I CAN do this WITH the HELP of my TOOL which is why I'm getting this done in the first place. If I COULD do this without the sleeve, I'd already be at 150lbs and happy!
To my credit, I do measure my intake, I've cut sodas and tea out of my diet, and I'm doing my best to increase my water, protein intake, and decrease the carbs. The 11th marks the actual 2 week preop stages of my diet. At that point, I will have no more time to play around and cheat. I do want this. I will achieve my weight loss goals and NSV because after WLS, I will have no more excuses. It's either make it work or remain the same size...and that's not an option!
