Hey everyone! My surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday, 6/20.

I am getting really nervous.

I think the part that is really making me nervous is that I cannot imagine EVER not relying on food. (I cannot imagine not being able to entertain and soothe myself with food.)

I'm wondering if it will work for me...

i think doubt is a natural part of all this. I wish you the best.

I'm approaching two weeks since my sleeve and I can't lie. I really do miss food. There are moments when I smell everyone's dinner cooking and I start jonesing to pig out even though I know I can't. I know it has to be all mental, like when I quit smoking... my subconscious was conditioned to eat eat eat and now it's like HEY HELLO WHERE"S THE FOOD?!? LOL

Strength is all we can hope for. You have to keep telling yourself that you're strong enough to make it without the food. And you are!

I had the same feelings at about the same time post op.

Now that I'm almost 2 months out, I can eat, woohoo

I choose healthy foods and eat my little teeny portions, but it feels so good to be able to eat(chew) not just have mushy junk.

Trust me, it gets better and better.

I truly appreciate food much more after surgery!!
