Wow! The title of your thread describes me to a t. I am down 70 lbs so far and struggle to believe it. My husband loves to split meals with me and always has, I have never enjoyed it because I wanted to eat it all myself. At dinner this weekend he wanted to split a huge entree and I told him I was afraid I would not have enough to eat. He looked at me funny because he knows after I have a small portion I am stuffed. So, we shared the entree and still brought some home. It is hard to adjust! I agree with the other posters about getting the too big clothes out to help change how you feel about regaining. Good luck! Here's to getting our heads to come along with our bodies.

Tomorrow is my surgery, too! It is at 8 am in Bethesda, Maryland. I am so excited, but nervous, too. It is hard to believe the time has finally come. Blessings to everybody for a smooth and very successful surgery and recovery!

Hi LegalLady- I got my referral from my primary care doctor on December 24. I went to the Bariatric program seminar January 24 where they gave me all of my requirements and I was off and running through required weight loss, sleep study, psych, and my 2 week lovely pre-op ;-)etc. Since it is a military facility, I am sure my process to longer than many sleevers do. 2 days it is!! Hard to believe. I am looking forward to donating lots of clothes very soon!

Thanks for the well wishes, Mina T! Hi, LegalLady! My surgery is on the 23rd in Bethesda, Md.. I am excited, too. I have been trying to focus on organizing the house, getting the husband and kids set up to have an easy time while I am at the hospital, and packing the essentials for my surgery. After the long pre op process I have had, this week is making it feel real to me that I am finally getting sleeved. Oh, and btw, I have cheated, too. I had a boiled egg white when I was feeling starved! so, it happens and then you get right back on track. Best wishes to you this week and for your surgery!
