TheNewMimi,

Good luck on your surgery. We are here for you. I couldn't have done it without all the support here either. It is just way to scarey. But I would see people doing well and that would ease my fears.

Thank you guys so much! I am on pins and needles! The Clear Liquids are making plenty of room for me to clean! I have shampooed everythig! Which, if you think about it is kind of awesome bc I have found I have so much time! Then, you get kind of disgusted when you realize that all of this "time" was spent eating, thinking about eating, cooking, snacking... It's very liberating! But, at the same time, my mind is playing tricks and I have sadness and loss for food. How sick and twisted is that? I am mourning Olive Garden breadsticks and baked ziti. Wow...

Day 5 of my preop was a bad day for mourning food. I know exactly what you are feeling!!! When that happened I came to this sight and looked at all the before and after shots and that made me feel much much better!!!!

I had a mourning period before surgery also. It was over once I woke up from recovery. Not even a blip on the radar. I'm really amazed with my lack of interest in food. I know eventually I'll have a bit of buyers remorse, but right now I am guided by my undying optimism. Instead of Olive Garden breadsticks, I play with Protein Shakes. It's the same enthusiasm. :) and enjoy your clean house. I wish I had cleaned mine before surgery :)

      I don't know when I reached Onederland but just weighed myself @198. 😁

      Constantly amazing myself. This is probably a normal experience for all of us on a WL journey.
      This morning I was at 174 pounds (78.9 kilos). I can perceive that my brain hasn't really caught up to this yet, as I still feel obese, even though I am close to being considered a normal weight, not even overweight. The smaller clothes, the higher fitness level, the great blood work results, the energy- these all tell me a totally different story!
      I have NEVER EVER been, never, not once in my life, nada, zip, zilch, zero times, been "thin." I think this explains some of the disconnect between the reality of my body and the stuckness of my brain. I do have confidence that my mind will catch up soon ❤️
      Not really having the experience of true hunger yet, but I can perceive the peristalsis of my digestive tract. And I am getting very good at spotting head hunger, and simply noticing it, like a Buddhist.

      I ordered the Barbecue Protein Crisps here from BariatricPal, and find them quite tasty. The Ranch flavour, not so much. They are very filing and have a satisfying crunch.
      I continue to shrink, and am amazed at the changes all over my body. Visually, it is striking to me. In the mirror, I look thin to my eyes, but I don't feel thin, although I can see more bones and veins and tendons and floppy skin. Cardio-wise, It takes a lot more effort to get my heart rate up and I'm now monitoring which heart zone I can get into and for how long. My resting heart rate is the lowest it's ever been.
      If I think about it, and I left myself feel it for a time, I weep (like, boohoo cry) with joy. I am so grateful to myself, and proud of myself for having the courage to have taken the leap to better health.
