Well, this is interesting.

I am between my initial and pre-op surgeon visits. Not on a preop diet yet, though the surgeon would like me to lose 5# between the two appts, which are a little over a month apart.

I'm not trying to diet, I decided that I was going to allow myself to relax and enjoy the holidays and the foods we usually have at this time of year. I know that's it's likely that I won't enjoy eating some of these foods in the future.

So you want to know what happened? I just threw out almost half of a pie I made for Christmas dinner. I didn't have any. Not on Christmas, and not after. I'm not interested. Huz bought my favorite chips for New Year's. I haven't had any. I'm not interested. I have tins of Christmas goodies I made for when the kids were here for Christmas. I haven't had any. I'm not interested.

I was completely unaware that somehow I've gotten a brain transplant

It's funny how that happens!

That's a Christmas present worth cherishing! Good for you!

I felt the same way! After I set my appointment I just started being excited about the process and getting started. For the first time in my life I felt like I had will power! Begore the surgery....will power! Who would have guessed!

I felt the same way, I had a list of foods on my to eat list before the pre-op diet, weirdly I had zero appetite and didn't end up having most of what was on my list. It's funny how it happens but it was then that I knew I was very committed to going ahead with the surgery.
