Where are you in terms of surgery? Im still preop

I feel like i could have wrote a number of these posts, I feel so similar! Thanks for the feedback ladies! Feeling encouraged more than before

This is why this site is so great. Ive already learned so much prior to my surgery....that come the time, I hope to be as prepared as possible. I doubt the urge to " fill my face" to.capacity will ever go away. I feel like Im losing a friend by changing my lifestyle so much. I am a constant overeater. Even when im not hungry, Ill eat. If im bored....I dont need a reason. But arm yourself with knowledge and continue to.seek informatiin from others and i think knowing what youre feeling is so normal to say many, may help along the way. Ots.definitely helped me

Youre in mourning. You are mourning your relatiinship with food. The way you use to it. I have heard this is very common and im struggling with it myself and i have yet to have the surgery... Its such a huge change from the way we lived our lives. Eating whenever and whatever we want. Food, for me, is a crutch. And having to say goodbye to it.....absolutely terrifies me. However...with support along the way, ive heard it does get easier and much much btter. Good luck to you

Yaaay to you!! How exciting that must be!! This is so reassuring....looking forward to do the day I hopefully get to do the same! Congrats to you!!!
