I'm not really sure if this is the right place to put this, so I'll go on ahead and place it here for the time being. My surgery isn't until the 25th, but (aside from my little valentine's day carb fiasco) I'm finding that I'm not really enamored with food anymore. I'm not really sure how to describe what I'm talking about. I guess it's like......okay, I chart everything that I put into my mouth, and I'm just stunned by how little I can eat and still feel really good. I feel awesome on 1200 calories a day, and as long as I can end the occasional evening with my crystal light popsicle that my sweets craving is nonexistent and everything is right in the world. It's like I've stumbled upon this path, and food isn't a huge part of it. I just want to eat enough to not feel hungry so I can get on with my day and wake up tomorrow one day closer to surgery and to coming out of this on the other side of being sleeved so I can claim my spot on the losers bench. Does that even make sense?

I know I can't do this on my own, and that's why I'm getting the sleeve...but it's almost like I don't even have my sleeve yet and it's already working for me. Has anybody else experienced this, or have I truly gone and lost my marbles? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I don't think about food anymore. I'm too busy worrying about my Water intake and making sure I get in 10,000 steps a day and increasing my lung capacity. It feels almost like I got out of an abusive relationship (which I think is a fair way to classify my love affair with food), and I have no desire to see my former significant other anymore. Idk...I'm not sleeved yet, but I'm choosing to call this a NSV. I haven't felt this good about myself and my choices in a long, long time.

Nope. I craved all kinds of things and really suffered through my 10 day pre-op diet.

When I was in San Diego awaiting my surgery there was a constant barrage of a pizza joints new 5 cheese pizza with bacon. I almost caved a few times and could of eaten a large all by my self. Thankfully I didn't.

I had all my craving during my post op..

Hmm...I'm just hoping that this feeling continues. I'm surprised by how easy this week has been for me. I guess I should mentally prep for the possibility of the cravings coming after surgery..but I'm not going to dwell on it for fear of losing momentum for the time being!

I am having the same feeling as you. Just over food. I didn't eat lunch and getting ready to go make myself eat dinner. Maybe it's nerves.
