Hello,
I am sad that you are feeling down. I
think I know what you are going through. When I first
decided to have wls, I was depressed that I would be
denied. Also, I started the last supper syndrome. Eating
food that I was afraid I would miss.
I suggest you
take it one day at a time. That is all you can do.
Hang in there. Know that there is a higher-power to
guide you and give you strength. You have to decide
that you are doing this for you. You are worth
it.
Also, I hope that you are dealing with this depression
by seeking professional help. You need to have this
stabilized before the surgery. I myself thought I did not
want to live like this. But things are looking better,
I am dealing with things. And, I am not letting
anyone stand in my way.
I will pray for your strength

and wish you the best.

GRRL, if this is you and you haven’t contacted
me, I am so pissed!! But i binged too before the
surgery, It’s that feeling of "oh my god, I can’t eat ever
again!!" Believe me, when you go for the enema before the
surgery, you will wish you never ate anything, EVER. It’s
true, you’ll have more to lose, but don’t use the
surgery as an excuse to binge. I’m not a doctor, but i
would bet even more weight adds more complications.
PERSERVERE and stay strong sista!!

How much did you weigh at that time during pre-op?

I scheduled my surgery on 8/15 for 9/11. I ate
EVERYTHING in sight. My birthday is 9/6 and I had TWO
birthday cakes. I just figured, what the hell? Well, my
surgeon hurt his back while on vacation and 9/11 turned
out to be Armageddon anyway, so my surgery was
postponed until 9/25. I continued to eat anything that
didn’t eat me first. At the time, I paid no attention to
the fact that I was gaining more and more weight
which is subsequently more and more weight that you
have to lose. But you know what? I would do it the
same way again. If you could stick to diet that easily
you wouldn’t be a candidate for WLS. I have lost
about 50 lbs and feel fabulous. Even if it takes a
little bit longer to lose the xtra lbs I gained the
month I was pre-op, its ok because I needed to say

goodbye to that way of life. I wouldn’t worry too much
about it if I were you. Just concentrate on getting in
the right frame of mind for the surgery and life on
the otehr side.
