Tomorrow's appointments

I have my appointment with the Dietitian and the Behaviorist tomorrow morning. Last night my DH asked what my reaction is going to be if they don't approve me. I looked at him in horror and panic, great way to start the negative self talk! Now I can't stop worrying about the outcome of the appointments. I feel like I am ready for the surgery and I have been making changes in all areas of my life in preparation. Wish me luck!

You got this, OrangeBlossom!! I worry about not getting approved as well, but am also making necessary changes. I think the fear is real, but the reality is we're way more likely to get approved than not.

Keep doing what you're doing and have faith. The system is here to support you and make you successful.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.

I so did this! So much panic before the appointments by the last ones I was feeling WAY better but I had all the same fears. Try not to stress, take a bath or do something to relax, and trust yourself. You'll do great!

Just go in and be honest! They are going to want to know not only what you are doing or planning on doing to be successful but also what support network you have. (we count and all of the amazing successful people on here giving advice only helps).

If you got a book, do a quick one over of the general idea of rny and sleeve. Also remember you food logs!

Also don't stress! They won't say no! Worst case is they give you goals and you see them again!
