Surgery Yesterday

[Margater 6]

Yesterday was my gastric sleeve procedure. Was pretty much at that point in my 38 year old where it was this or death. So.. i can't complain.

Was hoping I wouldn't want food so bad by day 2. Did this happen to anyone else? Real addict here I guess. Will have to settle for narcotics.

Congrats on getting to the other side 😊

You're not the only one: I started thinking about food day 3. I tried to use the time to understand the difference between real hunger and head hunger. I knew mine HAD to be head hunger because my new stomach was still sore and full from Protein Shakes and crystal light.

I tried to keep my brain occupied by manually creating a chart to keep track of what I ate/took daily.

Also I tried reading up on mind-body connection After all, that mind-body disconnect IS why I got to this point. I also knew my end goal was to get it straight in my head and deal with whatever issues made me such a big over eater

So really this is ur best time to start/continue that journey. Don't substitute one addiction with another

I wish you well!!
