It's so weird.

I have always been a food addict.

But now, after 2 months have gone by since my sleeve surgery, I find myself not caring about food like I used to.

Before surgery I would almost get giddy if I thought about what I was going to eat later that day.

I could go to the KFC drive through and get a bucket of chicken for myself, or cook a huge tray of my delicious meatballs.

pizza, chinese food, dougnuts, you name it, I ate it. It was my drug of choice.

Now since I can only eat about 4 or 5 ounces before I feel full, I don't get excited about food anymore.

In a way it's a good thing because I don't have cravings at all anymore, and I couldn't overeat even if I wanted to.

I've lost 94 pounds since starting my pre-op diet on October 26, 2016.

It's like I lost a part of myself. A part that got me up to 470 pounds, but even though it made me huge, eating a lot of food was very enjoyable.

Now I eat because I need the nutrients and the food to live, and I enjoy it I guess, but my LOVE of food isn't there.

I guess it's a good thing.

Right?

I'm praying that after Wednesday I feel the same way.

It's super weird not to spend all day planning all the crap I'm gonna eat next! My entire perspective on food has changed.

I'm almost four months out and sometimes I just forget to eat. On really busy days, sometimes, I'll get ready for bed and be like "oh shit i need food" lol.

If you'd told me five months ago that I'd go from thinking about food all day every day to frequently having to remind myself to eat, I would never have believed you.
