PRE-OP LIQUID DIET CHEATER

[cindi gant 101]

I am also a food addict. I see a psychologist who specializes in treating addictions. I am 22 months post sleeve and I still struggle. Every meal is a chance to start over. When I first gave up fast food I started slowly. Like, I had not had fast food in 3 days. So then I tried to make it 7 days. Then 10, 14, 21 days and so on. Before I knew it I had not had ff in 64 days. So start slow. Once you have surgery you will not have a choice. You won't want it. You really won"t want that greasy feeling in your throat. Today I can eat a few fries but not many. I eat a burger occasionally but it's different. I only eat about 3 or 4 bites with the bun. Then I take off the bun and eat a few more bites minus the bun. I grieved over the food for a couple of months after WLS. Today life is 1000% better than it was. You will get thru this. Attend support groups in your area. You are not alone.
