Congrats on the surgery date! I never had any food funerals and I really regret it. I still think of sinking my teeth into a teen burger from A&W. I resisted before surgery but I just can't shake the craving and truly believe if I had it before surgery When I first wanted it I wouldn't be thinking about it now. Your gonna rock the pre op diet. I know it :)
Thanks!!! Now I am thinking about A&W lol. I know for sure I want Thai food before my pre-op Diet starts I hope to have it this weekend when my friend visits. Other than that there is nothing else I am craving. I am sure once can't have it thats when I will want it:(. But I will survive!!!
Congratulations on getting a surgery date. I'm so excited for you. I can completely empathize with you about this social aspect. I worry I will be thinner but will still lack the confidence to get out there. I'm glad you are pursuing counseling. I will definitely be doing the same thing.
Your haircut looks cute! I have issues with anxiety when stress is increased, which is right now. I have never obtained help for it but I should. I am glad you are preparing and having someone to talk to about your anxiety issues will help. :) You are going to do great! Hope you have a great Halloween. I am taking my kids out but I am not dressing up this year. :)
I didn't have much of a food funeral either right before surgery because I had some stomach issues. I did eat plenty of stuff the 6 months before though. lol! The liquid diet is the hardest part, once you're over that hurdle it's just a day to day grind. Best of luck!
Thanks!!! I am counting down the days till Opti :( But I know I can do it. I feel like I am eating a bit more because my birthday is 2 days after I start Opti so my friends and family and taking me out now before I start.
I know this sounds completely stupid from where you are now ... but you will seriously regret not eating as much salad and raw vegetables as possible now before preop! you really won't be able to eat much of that stuff for 2-3 months and you'll miss it! All those other things, you'll see again in a year or 2 if you choose.
Thanks lol! I totally understand, it was just about maybe a weeks ago I started to make comments about everything I was eating. But I do understand I will be able to introduce what I want later

Thanks!!! I think talking things out with someone will do good, getting an outsiders opinion. Let me know how it goes for you when you start.

A mouse, a bunny, and some sort of monster. lol

Omg, I can't wait until you have surgery, You are my virtual surgery sister lol
Lol Thanks!!! We will defiantly have to keep in contact then and help each other out!!!
With the surgery and losing weight, you'll look at yourself differently. Trust your life will change for the better
Thanks, I know Its a process but its hard to have faith in the unknown. But I am trying!!!
