Is this what "naturally" skinny people feel like?

I've been noticing a lot of changes about myself, of course, it's easy to not desire food when you're feeling ill or unwell, but I've been feeling WONDERFUL these past couple of days and no issues in my stomach at all, yet I have this... take it or leave it attitude when it comes to food. It's so so surreal and it makes me wonder if there are people who are just, born that way, without having to be sleeved. The people I always envied, the people who do not think of every food they see as a "missed opportunity". It feels extremely natural to NOT eat, when pre-op it felt unnatural to not be munching on something. I still love food and my cookbooks and I'll always be a foodie but now I feel pretty meh about actually eating the food. As I'm healing, my desire for eating food is decreasing by the day.

Anyone else feel that way? Is it temporary? I hope not. I love food but I feel... free.

I’m still preop, but I think I understand what you’re saying and that makes total sense. It’s almost like when I quit smoking. Now the thought of having to go outside and smoke throughout he day seems SO odd and unnatural to me. When I was trying to quit though the opposite was true. Thinking about not smoking seemed like the end of the world.
This gives me a lot of hope for post op [emoji173]️
