3 DAYS TO GO - YIKES!!

[genevive57]

well guys, its sunday today and i am having my sleeve op on thursday morning. i am on day 11 of my very low carb diet and managing ok [even though i am meticulously following the diets portion size i still think i'm eating too much] so, not holding my breath on having lost any more weight.
i've been extremelty tearful this morning and i don't know why? my poor hubby n son can say nothing to console me, i feel like a right drama queen. i know i should be happy and i truly appreciate how lucky i am getting my op funded by the nhs and my journey from initial seminar to op being only 10 weeks seems ridiculous - especially when i know how lots of you wonderful and deserving folks have trouble getting funding and have to wait months and even years for an operation.
i'm still stupidly and selfishly asking myself if i'm doin the right thing? will i really be able to cope on such small meals for the rest of my life etc??
i'm usually a very organised person but today i can't even motivate myself to start packing my bag for hospital which, i had promised myself to do this weekend. what the hell's wrong with me?
sorry to be a moaning minnie but i had to vent my feeling somewhere and i apologise now for acting like a selfish cow - i'm honestly not usually like this. :wave_cry::cry:

Hi

Please try not to worry.
I had my op (sleeve) just over 9 months ago. Like you I loved my food but too much. Eating for me in the end was an obsession.
The pre op diet is extremely tough and challenging. It's normal to feel tearful...the night before my op I was in floods of tears wondering if I too was making the right decision.
I've never looked back and don't regret having surgery for one minute my confidence is sky high now, I feel healthier and can still eat the things I like but in tiny amounts.
I'm sure you won't regret it xx
