Six weeks out- down 35 lbs. 50 since starting the program. Amazing to me how little food has control over me now. I grabbed a chunk of chicken to eat tonight because I was out running errands. Few hours later I had a Mandarin for a treat. I used to plan to go get food and looked forward to food now it's just necessity. Eat enough protein and drink my fluids. No issues with drinking water no sipping needed. Happy girl. Food used to rule part of my life. Not anymore.

Congrats on the weight loss! My surgery is this morning, and I'm hoping that in 6 wks I'm able to say the same

It's a wonderful thing huh!

Congrats on the the weight loss but more importantly congrats on changing the way that you think about food.

That is so great. 2 weeks is my surgery.....

Congrats on your weight loss, keep on that good path it only gets better. I am three days from my 5 mth surgiversery ... 81 pds down since the start of the journey, 64 since surgery. I have never felt so good in my life. I am smaller than I was in high school, love every day of it.

I can't wait for that feeling. I've got a little bit of that on pre-op but I still catch myself thinking about junk. Neuropathways change after surgery to rely less on food as a pleasure source. Hypothetically, this should be a common side effect of wls. If brain scans were part of the before and after treatment, we'd know for sure.
