Hello
I think what you are feeling is very normal. I found out April 23rd that I was approved for surgery, which is on July 2nd. At first I found myself eating very carefully, and healthy. I never totally overdid it, as my surgeon told me I could not gain any weight between April 23rd and July 2nd. What I did do is select a few restaurants and foods that I wanted to eat prior to surgery. I started my liquid diet on June 18th (today is day 6 for me), and quite honestly it is going OK. I really am not hungry. For the most part I am satisfied because I know this liquid diet is for MY safety during surgery.
I had tried to get approval for RNY gastric bypass about a year ago, but was unsuccessful with my insurance. I had decided that either way, I was going to have surgery of some type, whether I had to pay for it or my insurance.
I was going to get the lapband because it was cheaper. In the end my insurance came through for me and I stuck with my original decision to do the gastric bypass RNY. For me I know that is the right choice.
Good Luck
