Dear Bad food Habits, (love of my life and lifelong comforter),
This is sad but I'm breaking up with you, at least I'm taking a long time out and I know our relationship will never be the same. The cloud of delusion is lifting about us, our relationship, just two short weeks after my surgery.
Let me start by saying you have always been there for me. When my parents weren't there, when I felt alone, and then in the good time too, when I celebrated, when I was happy, stressed, let's face it. You were there as my go-to for any emotion, really. And I loved you, a bit too much. The problem with our relationship, Bad Food, is that it's dysfunctional. You confort me immensley but you leave me empty later, feeling guilty. There is no true substance in what you give me. What I take from you has hurt me physically and emotionally for 30 years and the end result is isolation from my own life, neglecting friends and family functions, hiding away. I am ashamed at what our relationship has done to me.
I have come to realize that almost every single activity of my waking life evolved around you, the thought of you, the joy and happiness that I felt when I knew I would have you again. It is this dysfunction that I have to change, Bad Foods. Its not you, it's me. No one ever forced you into my mouth repeatedly. I chose you.
It's not easy but I am taking steps to refocus, away from you and towards things that make me healthier. Surgery was just the first step.
Look, I know I will never forget you, afterall you were my first and longest love!I will continue to see you everywhere, you can't be overlooked. Fastfood restaurants, the bakeries, the parties, football Sundays. You have an allure and charm that has worked on my like magic and I have become addicted. My family still loves you so you will be in our home sometimes. But my relationship with you is over, in terms of the way we were.
You know what? I think we can still be friends, and we might even hang out on rare occasions. But not for a long while. I need to get right in the head.
Good bye, I'll miss you, my lifelong comfort.

@@Sai I'm hoping the preop diet is the hardest part of my journey too!

Can I ask you this, Do you believe in God? The reason I said this because I was you, our story sounds the same except my son passed 2months before his second birthday. I was so afraid of having this surgery, I too said what if I die, I too love food, I too suffered with high blood, diabetes and arthritis in my knees, but ,I never ever had surgery a day in my life , never been put to sleep, heck I never broken a bone, so imagine how I was feeling, just like you. But when I stepped out and allowed God to step in and trust him fully with my life my worries begin to fade away. I can say I never gave fear a second thought on that operating table on September 14, 2016 yes last month I had the RNY surgery. Think of your health , have strength and put your power into play , fear not. You just put it all in Gods hands . you will do just fine

I read this information and wonder why people are choosing to eat fried food too. I guess everybody is different. I am pre op and my gastric sleeve surgery is scheduled on the 21st October. I have completed 15 days out of my 21 day pre op diet without any issues. I have learnt something about myself which is that I am strong. I feel very motivated to change my lifestyle. I realise that I have used my weight as a way of hiding due to past issues. The sleeve will not make that go away. It is going to be a tool to keep me on track but I still have to work on my other demons that have previously caused me to quit previous diets. Life isn't going to be easy, it is going to change.

All the answers ? Only this guy ^^^^^^^^^^^ has all the answers. He and he alone holds the secret recipe........

Before surgery, it was fear for my husbands life, and my fear of the unknown.
After surgery it was fear of what the hell is going to happen now, I will act like I am pitiful and post surgery.
Two days later I was walking in the grocery store.
Four days later I was in the mall, visualize what I might buy one day. I had a little cheese stick and Protein Shake with me so I would not be hungry, and damn!!! I never got hungry! Amaaaaaaazzzzziiiinnng!
Three years post op, NO FEAR!

Honestly this has been the one question that i've been dying to ask everyone who has had wls.
Everyone is different, so what was the biggest change for you?
Was it realizing that you can no longer eat certain foods? Or is it exercise? Or was it emotional changes like depression?
Or anything else you can think of.
I'm just trying to get myself mentally prepared for all of the many changes about to come.

I'd rather be checked than ticked off ....... No carp about that

If you kids keep giving carp to tess she might just tuna round and check all of y'all!

My surgeon is Dr. David Spencer in Chesapeake. My surgery date is November 30.

I thought that was noodling for catfish. We all know noodles are against our new food religion.
I dont want to get "checked."
Where did tess go? I hope she went to Glamour Shots. Cant wait. I'm giddy with excitement and anticipation!
