Put your thinking caps on cos this is a doozy

[leslie1958 159]

As some of you already know - my surgery date is October 5th in Tijuana with Dr Illan. I plan to start my pre op diet Sunday.

Approximately 10-12 days ago I started experiencing some really unusual stuff.

First and foremost, my appetite has gone, poof - outta there - disappeared. This is HIGHLY unusual - I am an emotional eater so you would think pre op stress - eat eat eat - but no, I get up in the morning, not hungry, lunch, not hungry and on and on.

I cooked myself my fave meal (curry) I did not eat any of it - packed into a rubbermaid and in the fridge, simply not interested. I also have an unopened bag of Kit Kat chocolate in the fridge keeping the curry company.

This is utterly baffling to me - believe me, I am not consciously doing anything to be like this.

While I'm confessing to weird behavior, here's one more thing - when I go to my closet, I have a split second of thinking that one of my smaller pairs of jeans will fit me (as if I have already had the surgery) no kidding - I know that's odd isn't it.

Has anyone had any of these weird things happen to them pre op ?

I am still pre op and yes, I have days where I feel I have already been sleeved. Not because I have no hunger or appetite. But because my MIND is changing. I think one of the keys to success with this is to commit to it with your whole heart and soul. So, in the mean time, your mind may already be ahead of your reality! It's all good, a few extra lbs gone pre op are not there to lose later!!!!!

Too funny the diet does help with cravings going away.

Hi Roo, that's great! I think that's your mind and body is just getting ready for what's to come. I believe your mind knows this is it and it's just going through training. I'm doing the same in regards to watching what I eat, lots & lots of fluids, taking my Vitamins and so far I have lost 9lbs in two weeks. I'm not hungry and didn't even pig-out during my menstrual cycle! My surgery is November 4th and I can't wait.

Well, I wish you the best on Oct 5th, I know you will do great

P.S. Throw away that Kit Kat candy bar , we won't be needing that anymore. Instead but your skinny jeans in the fridge as a reminder to you what we will soon achieve and I will do the same with my skinny jeans.

God bless.

Omg, I was thinking I was the only one. My surgery is still 5 weeks away and lately I'm finding that I really only want to eat Protein, primarily liquid. Certain foods are making me nausios (that never happens) and wait... You'll love this... I'm even getting heartburn or acid reflux (haven't had that since my last pregnancy, 21 yrs ago).

I was thinking I'm having sympathy pains for all the other ppl in the forum, lol.

But as another poster said: it's our minds and body's changing... Getting ready for our new lives! Crazy, eh ? Good luck on your special day.

Italiancurves - yes ! Heartburn for days too !! The whole thing is simply too weird

I have been doing the same thing! I made it a choice to go ahead and start eating low carb so I can get used to it slowly and also jump start weight loss. Of course, cutting out most of the carbs has kept the cravings at bay. I also started taking my Vitamins again and taking magnesium (which cuts my chocolate cravings). Now I haven't thought I could fit in any old clothes yet so that is just you LOL!! I do agree though that since I made the decision to do the surgery my mind has started to prepare for it plus I am not stressing about my food choices now. I know its gonna come off with my efforts! Normally I would stress over it. We bought holloween candy last night-2 big costco bags. Normally I would have opened it and had at least one but nope! By the way, I just gave alma my deposit and I am looking at flights so I officially will see you next week!! My date is officially the 4th so I should be sleeved by the time you get to the hospital Yay me
