My surgery is scheduled for July 30th. 9 days to go. ???????? Thank you, @@tcon! Trying. It's still a daily battle of getting in enough this, less of that, but somehow it's so much easier. I'm excited for you. This truly is an amazing time and process. Get ready for it, it's a whole new way to live but SO worth it!!! I'm back to where I was before I had two girls and they're both almost 3 & 5!! I've always been on the heavy side but no like I have been since my first pregnancy. I wish you lots of luck and update me when your feeling up to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tcon 305 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) @@KalelsWifey Thanks I'm super excited!!! I have a long road ahead of me but I know it will be worth it. I have missed food like crazy this week but managed to stick with the pre-op diet. I'm trying to learn the difference between head hunger and hunger. I have been surrounded by food this week. ???????? I have not set a goal weight and my surgeon has not set one yet. I'll have plenty of time within the next few week to set one. I'll keep you posted. ???? Edited July 22, 2015 by tcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KalelsWifey 318 Posted July 22, 2015 I'm now over a year out and the only thing is for me , I still miss food like crazy and thank goodness I can't fit more then a 1/2 a cup worth of food in cause if so I'd be right back where I started lol We are 'foodies'! It's apart of us. In any situation -- social, functions, emotional and just bc! It'll always be hard for us I truly believe bc somehow it gives a lvl of comfort. I am only three months out and occasionally will see my kids or husband have something and (in my head, be drooling). But remember I CHOSE this new life and I'll be damned if food is to consume me again. I also love that 'now' when I eat I know a few bites before I'm getting full and mentally bc I know I could revert back to old ways if I (stretch) the pouch I can control it and stop immediately. What I once loved so so much I don't desire like I used to. Empanadas, tostones and rice were a weekly occurrence in my house. I had one bite when I got the go ahead and haven't had another since... Between my surgery and God I've gotten thru this quite easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
