    Food funerals

    I've def used the last 12 months to say goodbye bad habits and hello to new life long habits. I gave up ALL soda September 2014. I switched to carbonated Water for a short time, but I've been fizzy free for about 10 months. Additionally, I've gotten my over eating under control, well as much control as I can have before I get my tiny tummy. I don't see eating post surgery portions as an option as there is no way possible I'd be satisfied. I consistently log my food and count calories. More recently, I consistently drink 64+ oz of water daily. I also do not have any Pasta and potatoes as sides. My family still eats them, but I don't put them on my plate. I've made lots of positive changes to help me be successful next month. I also joined a gym. I'm walking/slow jogging 2miles on the treadmill and biking 5 miles two times a week when I go to the gym. Thanks for the encouragement. You're right. It's not forever, just temporary. The foods in "worried" about missing are Protein. I'll just be taking a vacation from them.

    I guess it isn't so much food funerals, but more kinda sad/nervous/anxious about the changes coming next month.

    Thanks for your response. I don't take it as a sign I'm not ready either. I appreciate your point of view!!! I'm very aware of my thoughts and I'm not binge eating. Just very carefully planning my favorite foods over the next month. My husband is amazing on the grill. I know that there will be a time during recovery I won't be enjoying his amazing dinners. I'm still choosing protein and limiting my carbs. I'm just mentally preparing for missing food as I know my life is about to change for the better.

    Surgery is so far away!

    Pick one habit to focus on each month. First I got rid of soda, then focused on portion control, next increasing protein, then increasing water....helps pass the time and shift to new post op habits.

  21. That's insane!!! Their were self pay people at my seminar, but he was very clear the self pay patients get a great package and insurance is billed for a whole lot more!
