Now that I have my date set I feel nervous and scared
OMG! Im glad to know it isnt just me! I have been eating things I normally wouldnt b/c-and I even say to myself, "its ok cause I wont be able to eat this anymore soon" What is wrong with me!! Jeez! I know this isnt healthy, but I cant seem to justify the wrong doing. IDK maybe I am stressing stuff I shouldnt be.
I am worried I will have more problems after surgery because I am not preparing myself for it now! Anyone else have this thought. I am very good about setting goals for myself and I have a very good self control (for a fat chic...lol) I quit smoking cold turkey and have been nicotine free for over 6 months now.
Does make you think that you are the only one doing it? I kinda felt like I should only be excited but it is such a major life style change.
The loss of all that comforting food is scary. I truly believe I am grieving this loss and I think that is good because it will be a reality. I keep telling myself it is okay not to eat the unhealthy choices because my body will be better before and after the surgery but it isn't easy. I also tell myself it isn't like I will be giving up food all the way but..... that devil on my shoulder says you like the other food. The angel says hey you like the healthy food just as much. I just have to learn to trust the angel instead of hanging out with the devil who does tend to be more fun.
I think the problem for me is I have used food to cope with stress and this is the biggest stressor of my life lmao and I can't use food anymore.. it is that look for ways to cope without food thing they bariatric team keeps talking about.
Hang in there trouble. Tell your shoulder to sssshush.... lmao
