I am 2 weeks out of surgery today. I never thought I was an emotional eater but during the last two weeks I have realized that certain commercials, certain social situations, an emotional day, Etc have triggered a feeling that I am hungry. Then when I think about it I realize I really am not hungry I haven't felt hungry since surgery. I always thought that I ate too much because I really just liked food and ate too much of it, but now I realize I must have been an emotional eater and will have to learn how to deal with that as I continue this journey. I am sure the OP would definitely benefit from therapy not only for food issues but I'm sure it would help a lot with dealing with the incredible amount of emotional trauma she has had to deal with in the recent past.

I am the 28th too! I hope the weekend went well for you. Last weekend was rough for me too. I spent the whole day thinking about food. I made sure I stayed really active this weekend. I made it all about me.... mani pedi and a 2 hour massage. Got my nails a lovey shade of blue that should match my hospital gown [emoji2] Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on day 3 of pre-op diet. Mine is 2 protein shakes and 1 lean protein and veggie meal. Today has been the hardest day so far... I feel like all I have thought about today is food. I think the first two days were easier because I was busy all day and didn't have time to think about it. 2 good things though, I had a headache for the first two days and that went away and I lost 3.5 pounds. Good luck to everyone.

Wow. You look amazing! Congrats on your accomplishment. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app
