I wonder if this happens to anyone else or am I just crazy?

Sometimes a thought will cross my mind and for a second I forget I'm on this whole sleeve "adventure". For instance, today I am leaving work early to go to a doctor's appointment. Last night when I was thinking about that, the first thought that crossed my mind was that I would grab lunch at McDonalds on my way to the appointment. Then reality quickly rushes back in. Of course I can't do that. Then I feel sorry for myself for a moment.

Another example: My class had an Italian food tasting this week. One of the kids brought in a giant container of Nutella and my first thought was I couldn't wait to try that. Nope, not gonna happen! *** sigh ***

I know I should be thankful that I've had no complications and I'm doing fine. BUT sometimes I mourn my beloved food!

Me, too. And when I get bummed, "Ethyl" (my alter-ego... my body after surgery) whispers to me, 'that was a part of our past life. Remember? The life that didn't work for us? That's a toxin that hurts us. Those old memories will fade with time. We just need to turn our focus back to our new life - our rebirth. If we expect good changes, we must also expect habit changes. We ain't goin' back!"

Happens to me too and I'm not even out of soft foods yet! LOL! I am thankful that I haven't had any complications. I'm thankful that I can't eat as much as I used to I am am oh so thankful for the weight that I have lost that is gone forever. I do miss tortillias and mexican food almost daily though...
