fatnomo 102 Posted November 12, 2012 Surgery is in a week. (Nov 16). Timing couldn't be worse as Thanksgiving is hands down my favorite holiday. Not really in a depressed state, but coming to the realization as I eat my zillionth Pre surgery bowl of Soup that there won't be anymore Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green been casserole, etc... At lunch today I wanted to head to Outback and have a final Prime Rib. I guess I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'll be severing ties with my close and personal friend...food! :-) I know I have addiction issues but they are now becoming real. Not asking for anything here, just trying to be transparent with my comrades in arms as I know you all have been there. Five days to a new life right. 1 Donny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delta_girl 931 Posted November 12, 2012 You will be surprised at the changes you undergo with food no longer being the focus of your every waking moment. You will find that some things you liked before, you don't care about. You will discover that you can't and don't want to eat the volumes of food you ate before. You will find yourself naturally making better choices. That doesn't mean you will always be perfect, but it will be a lot easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RareGold3000 185 Posted November 12, 2012 And, just think.....next year you will be able to have some turkey and maybe a bit of stuffing or mashed potatoes, or green bean casserole.... like a spoonful!! You will be full much faster, which is a great thing, but you can still enjoy the holiday!! 1 rxtine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
