I'm having surgery in 4 days and I am nervous about transitioning from eating for a need and eating cause its there. Anyone want to share their experiences??

For a while u will not eat it because its there! I'm 8 days out and it takes me a while to eat a cup of Jello. I don't have hunger yet. Been just getting in my fluids to stay hydrated and some Protein.< /p>

You know,I've learnt to take responsibility for each thing I put into my mouth.As I got this surgery to get thin,it is my responsibility to make it happen.The sleeve really just limits how much you eat,you decide what you will eat.

I never say never to myself about anything anymore.Just maybe for today I will not have that scoop of ice cream I so wanted earlier.Some time in the future I might.But because I want to see the scale move,today I didnt.I choose.And I know I can ever blame the sleeve when I make the bad choices (ok,I do but I know i shouldnt...lol)

You'll be fine.Thats why the process of liquids,mushies,soft foods solids works so well.It gives us time to get use to the changes we have to go through.

Good luck.
