So my surgery is two weeks from today and I had to start my pre-op diet today, it's only semi liquid i still get to eat one meal a day, I know I can't complain too much compared to the all liquid diet some poeple have but... I'm having a hard time staying motivated, I know deep down this is the right decision but now that its so close and so real I am questioning myself constantly, I guess I'm just really nervious and a little sad that I really have to goto this extreme to lose weight... is this normal, did anyone else go thru this pre-op?
We all do - just 'keep your eye on the prize'... two weeks really isnt all that long for the lifetime you will get out of your WLS ya know? Dont look at it as a whole two weeks, just take each day as it comes and conquer it one at a time. Remind yourself why you decided to have WLS and what you went thru to get it!
