Eat Or Not To Eat

[Simpley_ke 201]

Has anyone besides me with a up coming surgery been thinking of food!! && Thanksgiving? I feel so hungry all of a sudden .. Should I fill up on the food or just taste EVERYTHING ?

Depending on when your surgery is, I don't see the harm in tasting everything within reason. Don't kill yourself trying to figure it out just use common sense and eat on the healthy side. I had my surgery in September and had a family celebration before my surgery. I just ate lightly and everything was ok. My NUT says just use good judgement and enjoy the holiday. Good luck!

My best friend is being sleeved 12/17. I have been strongly encouraging him to try to change his eating habits now, to make later easier. ( I did. I started eating a high protein/ low carb fat and calorie diet in August before my 10/21 sleeve date) I think it worked for me because I had already fought the head demon back before I had to adjust physically to the sleeve. Does the head demon still appear? Sure. I think it always will. But I already had a handle on controlling it before I got to surgery. Having surgery just gave me another tool to use in my battle. Anyway, I think my friend is scared of the unknown. His relationship (ie:addiction) to food is even more deep seated than my own. For a couple of weeks now he has been saying how he is eating everything in sight, but knows he need to get his s**t together soon- yet he keeps eating. It is a very hard emotional battle, not just physical. Try to set your sights on healthy and wise choices. Yes, a little splurge won't kill you. But it will be something to think about. Start trying to set boundries for yourself now, it will help you a great deal later on.
