having a problem here

I am really having a problem with my food intake lately. Nothing seems to be much different in my life but I am having a problem. I'm wondering if it is just being on a supervised diet or that it is getting closer and I feel stress about the surgery. Did anyone else experience this prior to surgery? Gail

Hi Gail Are you eating alot? is that the problem you are having? That could be from stressing out about everything. Take a nice walk and reflect why you are doing this and get all that stress to float away and tell yourself it will be ok. We are all here for you and you are not alone in this fight.

Gail, When I get nervous I ate like a maniac pre-op. What I did on my last month of supervised visits I focused on my goal (getting this surgery) so I ate a lot of salads, protein and drank 1 to 2 protein shakes a day. Stress definitely can play a major role. Now that the weather is nice take a walk every day and remind yourself why you are doing this. I am feeling great and thankful that I did have this surgery.

I had an issue with food intake before surgery. I didn't want to eat -- I felt nauseated all of the time. I think it was probably due to stress. I barely ate anything, then the day before surgery I was on a liquid diet, but WANTED to eat so badly. Kelly G.
