.... The period of time between being told surgery is approved until I meet with the doctor again OR until pre op starts.

Just so happens to be my favorite part of the pre surgery phase. Mind you me- I will be happy to give it all up when the time is here.

As a refresher: the worst part of pre surgery: waiting for approval.

Hahah! I just love you Justine

I have been eating stuff I have not had in a while and know I wont eat after I am sleeved.most of the time I feel like "eh, I won't miss it"

Hahah! I just love you Justine

Ditto xoxo

I dont' really get the 'food funeral' thing - but I have had a few meals that I know I won't have anymore...not 100% sure why I did it, I guess becuase I could....as I certainly won't miss anything about food. I don't get the concept that you can't live without diet soda - or certain foods... please don't flame me - I just don't understand that mindset that food could be a 'friend'. food is food, nothing less and nothing more - to me that is. I just have an issue with finishing my plate....or eating a whole burger when 1/3 of it would just be fine - because I can - not because I crave it.

thank goodness I had the 6 months or prep time for this surgery - as I started incorporting these eating behaviors in advance so I hope i don't struggle after the surgery.

I just used the term because I see it on here a lot. By nature - I don't take things too seriously - love to have a good time and am usually pretty opimistic. That being said- I think you are totally entitled to your opinions. Quite honestly I find it comical on here that so many people get so upset by people'a posts. It Sounds like you have developed a healthy relationship - yea relationship- with food. I, on the other hand, do not

Here! Here! I figure if I had that healthy a relationship with food, I wouldnt be desperately seeking Sleevie. But alas, food has been my lover( dont tell DH...I'm sure he has his suspicions, lol!!)

PS- I also had the 6 month. I still struggle.

Justine, I like your new pic

I love to cook it, eat it and smell it. It will be like saying by to a old flame and hello to a new hot lover I hope. I want to cook it. Smell it. Enjoy it.
