No Really, I thought this was going to be easy. I guess I knew that having major surgery that shrinks the size of my stomach wasn't going to be a tra-la-di-da vacation. But you how the reality of something is rarely how you envision it. When they say decreased amount of food, did you think they meant a 1/2 cup of liquid of less. I guess I didn't realized how much overeating I was doing before. The gluttony of my lifestyle previously has become evident. I am a little freaked out that I am consuming so few calories.

Ok.. That is enough of my boo-hoo. I can see that I had the thought my recovery was going to be only a few days and I would be back to life. Not so. Plus I think I jumped to full liquids to fast for my body. I am back today to juice and ice water.

The journey has just begun.

I haven't had my surgery yet but I know afterwards I'll have to come to grips that I can't eat the way I normally would. It'll be a BIG adjustment but I know it will be worth it.

Mainly what I would tell you is give yourself time to adjust. Don't sit and watch other people yet. At least not in the first few days. Give yourself a little time.

The one great thing about slow recovery means slow diet advance. I am going to lose a ton of weight this first month. Holy Moley!

Thanks for the comment and Good Luck on the Surgery!

I agree ! You know its not gonna be "easy" but until you go through it you truly don't know what it's all about. That's why I get so burned when I hear people say WLS is the "easy way out" Hello!!!! I haven't picked up on the "easy" part yet lol ! Good-Luck to you! :thumbs_up:
