Scheduled for July 14th - woo -hoo......or oh! oh!

[Guest guest]

So I am super excited, I really think and know that sleeve surgery is for me. I

am scheduled for July 14th and am like a kid waiting for Christmas on some

days...and then I have times where I start to second guess my decision.

I'm 5'5 " , 300lbs, I've always been chunky and athletic, now I'm fat and

athletic. I have tried every diet in the book and then some, and I work out

like a fiend....but the scale does not move at all.

So I know I need a tool to help me through my Weigh Loss Journey. I also know

it's a marathon and not a sprint, I didn't become 300lbs overnight...right?

So now I am going through an emotional rollercoaster...excited, scared, anxious,

what if this doesn't work for me just like nothing else has....

Last night I stayed up thinking about me and my future with DIET COKE....I used

to be an addict, now I only drink soda once a week maybe, but all of a sudden I

started thinking " What if I can never ever have diet coke again " , form there I

went to beer....etc....

I am not a big on carbonation, but do enjoy beer, champagne or Diet Coke once in

a while.....so to settle my brain, will I ever be able to have any of those

again after having a sleeve?

I might have to ask my PCP to up my Lexapro pre-op....and during

recovery.....anxiety will be the end of me!
