That's probably my biggest fear.

I am sort of watching what I eat but I don't really want to deny myself from the occasional treat because it's not going to happen again after the surgery. I don't eat ice cream every day or cookies or stuff like that. I am a fiend for chips, so I bought pringles in 100 calorie packs. And even if I eat 2 (not at the same time, throughout the day lol) I don't feel bad about it.

I know that I (and all of us here) are getting ready to make a huge life long change (and all the better for us) but I think endulging a little it ok as long as it's not crazy binging that puts like another 50 lbs on.

That's my opinion at least, for what it's worth

Yeah, it is a weird thing....It's like I am so ready to get healthier, and lose this weight once and for all. However, now I am trying not to gain weight...and not lose too much weight. I will just be glad when I have my last weigh in then I can start doing what I need to do. I don't have to worrry about my BMI dropping below 40, because mine is so much about 40.
Oh well, I just have May and June to go and I will be over my diet history. I see Dr. Scott June 29th, and hopefully I will get my insurance approval really soon after my doctors appt.
It is cool that we are going to be going thru our surgeries around the same time frame isn't it?

yeah Roni - that is cool. I'm glad we are doing it about the same time. it's great to have someone to talk to that is going thru the same thing you are, as it is with everyone on here.

I am so glad that I found this site, and you are right about having people to talk to that are going or have gone through the same thing that you are going thru.

It really is isn't it? It has even made it exciting. We get so pumped off of each other

It would be a lot harder going this alone. Its so nice to have other relate and be in the same position to share with. Its invaluable

Joy you said a mouthful when you said that. I am addicted to this site. I get nervous when I am away more than a day. I am looking forward to seeing the positive words and experinces folks face. I just can not wait until a year from now when we look back at this 6 month thread and see all of our comments and fears. It's going to be hilarious. This thread has gotten me more prepared for what's ahead for me and feel the most connected to. I am still all AMAZED how these 6 months are flying by FOR ALL OF US. April is gone and May is right around the corner. Sooner or later we will have to start a new thread in the POST OP section for us because all of our 6 months diet will be done. (WOW) I can not wait to be able to start that thread. Here's all my 6 months friends that I want to give a shout out too that makes this site so much fun:
