I know what you mean. I have been felling the same way. I know I shouldn't feel that way and I know it is self defeating but I am having a hard time with it. I am just trying to get into the frame of mind that food won't be so important to me after the surgery. I am hoping that I don't feel hungry afterwards. I've heard a lot of people say that they have no hunger what so ever. I hope that's me.

 Well I spent the day filling out my medical history and all those types of forms. I know it is a good thing that I have all of my medical records. I just can't seem to stay off the computer though searching and looking up different things about my doctor and the procedure. I wonder if I would be doing the same thing if I were having surgery here in the states. Why is it that we have so much faith in our corrupt medical system and we won't open our minds to think that other countries can do it just as good as we can if not better? I mean we put more trust in the fact that if a doctor has a couple of extra letters behind their name that they should be awesome and it is not always the case.  I know I am making a good dicision with my surgery I just have to stay off this computer to be at peace with my choice.  I haven't been able to sleep the past couple of weeks and tonight I am gonna try to get a good nights rest. Another day at it tomorrow.

I've been having food funerals since January when I booked my surgery...sheesh, I've gained 15 lbs!  I'm soooo looking forward to the pre op diet, I want off of this bloody roller coaster

They call these food funerals. I started this process in June/July of last year. Had my food funeral mid July to mid August. Then I went on  a cruise in mid August. Prior to the cruise I realized that the sleeve was never going to prevent me from enjoying food again, just the amount of it. I stopped my food funeral before my cruise and started changing my diet, even while on the cruise. I haven't stopped despite the fact that my surgery was only approved last week.

To date I've lost 47 pounds on my own. I need another 51 to reach my goal. It's a head game because thankfully, once you get where you want to with the sleeve, you can reintroduce some of your favorites back in and not feel the need to overdo but enjoy. I never lost faith that I'd get sleeved, one of the best tools for weight loss out there! Good luck Max!
