about a rny date...!

well with the holiday weekend, i talked to dr office monday or so, and was told that my chart will now go the scheduler, who is OUT on her vacation time i think, and due back next week... so. that is how close I am to getting my date. all else cleared. i have a question also.. i am a student, and a family and knowing i am getting the wls, i am sort of  'eating wrong intermittentely right now, worse than before i knew i was approved.. any advise or has anyone else done this?? did you stay on here alot for support? i know i could exercise too,, i am about 100 to lose. ( I KNOW referred to as a light weight or something like that)? but nevertheless, obese..,. thanks for feedback,

I don't know about your Doc, but my surgeon asked me to lose 15 lbs before the surgery, so I started eating and drinking like I knew I would have to after WLS, and I actually lost 26 lbs. Give up the soda pop, caffeine coffee, and sweets if you can....it will make things a lot easier!

I am pre-op, however, I had to read the book "finding the thin person inside of you" by barbara thompson,... She spoke of the same thing, eating wrong right before surgery.  She said "I went on a three month eating binge as I waited for my surgery. I had the "LAST SUPPER SYNDROME" in a very big way."  She was afraid she would never be able to eat the foods she loved, so she ate and ate.  My sister went through the lap band and she ate and ate, the same thing.  I asked her about it and she said it was just because she knew lots of foods she wasn't going to eat she wanted them now.  By the day of surgery, she was sick just looking at food.  She knew she had to exercise before surgery, and she didn't and now she regrets it. I can't tell you what to eat, just like the other gal said, no pop, caffiene, LOTS OF WATER, and try to just keep busy so your mind isn't focused on the junk food.....  :) Best to you and I hope that you get your date very soon!! Congrats!!!
