So I made a list of cons today and every one of the cons had something to do with never being able to eat certains foods anymore. Not one of them had something to do with risk factors .... Is that wrong? Or unusually? Ever since I started this journey (and I am at the very beginning stages) I realized how focused my life is around food.

I am so excited and so happy about the sleeve because I feel like that will helpe break this terrible cycle I have been on for a long time.

Tonight we celebrated my hubs bday and we drank, ate lots of food, etc. the entire time we sat there I was thinking in the back of my head...I'll never be able to drink again, il never be able to have a coke, il never be able to eat like this.

Then I think but that's how I got in this situation.

Are these normal thoughts of the unknown? Of what's to come after sleeving? I know down the road I'll be able to enjoy some of these things again but in smaller portions...

Oh I'm just ranting...too many beers, too much thinking.

Please don't be mean. Just want to know if these thoughts are normal?

I hear ya Robyn! I'm hit or miss with sweets. My big thing right now is cutting out coke. Day 1 is today!

How is it going with the Coke Detox? I had been a Diet Dr. Pepper addict for over 20 years and thought no way in heck I would ever be able to get off of it. I even told the dietician I didn't think I would be able to do it. Well....I haven't had a Diet Dr. Pepper since May 5, 2012 and I don't even miss them anymore. On top of that I feel better than I have in a long time....no jitters, caffiene (or lack of) headaches OR spending the money on them every day (I drank six 16 oz bottles per day). It was worth it!
