Does anybody have a hard time feeling motivated, excited?? I’m following my post-OP diet to the T but I find my self frustrated most of the times. How can I get excited again about having my MGB done ?? P.S I’m not hungry at all but I see everybody eating my favorite foods.

I’m 4 days out from my sleeve and I have had a full range of emotions. I don’t want to be around my family when they eat. Like you, I am not hungry or want what they have, but I just don’t want to even see the food. It’s weird for me to see it, but have no desire to eat it. I think that is what is throwing me emotionally. I may be expecting my old feeling of food lust to surface and their not. I know I’m rambling!!!

i felt unmotivated a few days before the surgery. I think it was nerves. It did help me to see the scale moving so quickly.

I am curious. Do you feel worried about messing up when you get to “real” food, rather than liquids?

Idk if I would be afraid to mess up when I get to the pure foods. Idk what to think to be honest. Maybe when I get to the stage, I’ll know for sure. I also go to my room when my family eats and idk why but I don’t like seeing them eat real food.

I'm 5 days post-op and had to attend my company luncheon today, at my favorite restaurant! Pasta for a crowd, wine flowing and, THE BREAD! I sat there with my glass of water... drooling. I think it was a good thing tho... I realized that I could skip it all and still survive! I think it is important to be able to be social with family and friends even if they are eating and I am not!
