Happy that nothing makes me sick and I can eat whatever I want, but on that same note, it makes me sad.... I wish I threw up every potato chip, chocolate, candy....

So far, nothing has really made me sick. Had a hamburger and beer too early, but even that didn't make me hurl. Even increasing Protein and calorie intake per dietician instructions, has not taken away my mental appetite.

I hit a plateau and haven't lost weight in two weeks. I've increased my exercise and now force myself to put in my 10,000 Fitbit steps.

I can drink, almost chug, Water all day, but I stop myself from overdoing everything for fear of experiencing vomiting or injury to my little pouch friend.

I am 6 days PRE surgery but i have talked with BOTH my Therapists (Personal and program) and BOTH told me to anticipate this.

It's about your RELATIONSHIP w/ food. The feeling of Satiety is not just about fullness. Is about FEELING satisfied. That is an emotional feeling, not a physical one.

Think about the first bite of your favorite food, and the warm feeling it gives you. That aint physical. Its' mental and emotional.

So for real success, for many of us. It's about changing your relationship to food. You may not WANT to get that SATISFIED feeling from food anymore because that path leads to where we were when we chose surgery.

It's a mental/emotional battle that CAN be won. find new ways to fill those needs...
