Sooo, my date has finally been confirmed after a loooong journey. I am scheduled for Oct 22nd, 2014. :D However, this is all becoming very real and all of my demons are coming out of the closet. I am coming to terms and embracing my new eating style. I am already increasing Protein, cutting out carbonated beverages and consuming food differently. As I am doing this I am also dealing with my emotional connection with food. :huh: I didn't realize how much of my life was directly centered around food. Celebrations, rewards, socialization, guilt, boredom, love, you name it and there is a connection with food. I am learning to replace food with actions, not so easy but I'm doing it slowly. Anybody else having this clarity while wrapping your head around this life change?

Absolutely! I've been more aware of the cyclic nature of food addiction - recreational eating leads to obesity leads to being too tired / pained to do anything for recreation but eat more, etc. I know for me it's been a struggle to try to find ways around that, and sometimes I don't succeed. One day at a time, right?

Absolutely, even with the sleeve, this is going to be one day at a time. I am making the changes as well. The next step for me is after the nutrition class to be starting the preop diet which is rumored to be Protein shakes and one lean cuisine. but I am not sure exactly when it will be starting.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
