Thursday is my Surgery

[DogMomAmy 0]

I will be having my surgery on Thursday, and am not really nervious at all about the actual operation. I know this sounds strange but what is making me nervious is 2 things.

#1. Will I be able to eat slow and chew my food (like 30 times!), beacuse now I am an exteremly fast eater, and seem to enjoy my food much more when I eat fast.

#2. Will I be sad to eat such small portions, because obviosuly I am a big eater now, and get so much joy from food. (I know I am an emotional eater, and will be working on that aspect as well.)

Just curious if anyone else had these feelings, and what your outcome was?

I know this surgery is the right decision for me, and hope I can adjust well.

Thanks!

FIRST OF ALL GOOD LUCK, SURGERY WILL BE A BREEZE, THE BAND WILL MAKE YOU CHEW SLOWER

BECAUSE IF YOU EAT TO FAST YOU COULD GET SUCK AND THROW UP THIS PAIN YOU WILL NVER FORGET AND WOULD NOT WANT TO FILL THAT AGAIN, ON EATING ALOT YOUR BAND WONT ALLOW YOU WILL FEEL FULLER AND WONT WANT TO EAT OR YOU WILL TROW UP MY SIGNALS THAT I WAS FULL WAS I BURPED OR HICCUPED, YOU CAN STILL EAT YOUR FAVORITE FOODS JUST SMALLER PORTIONS OF THEM GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY I HAVE NO REGRETS!!

Good luck. Chewing is an issue I think for a lot of us but when food gets stuck it will remind you to slow down and chew. We all gained weight because of our love of food but it really hasnt bothered me eating less because I am full so I dont miss pigging out on a portion of three peoples food. In the long run it is more expensive to eat healthy but it is better on the budget because you need so little.
