Mourning Food, Surgery Tommorrow
Hello All, I am having lpscpc RNY tommorrow, and I am sooooooo mourning food right now. I am just sitting here thinking of all of my favorite foods and how I will not be able to eat them. I was second guessing my decision until I looked in the mirror and said what is more important.... my health or the taste of fried chicken and mac&cheese. Needless to say I will be having my surgery!
I am just wondering if this feeling will go away after the surgery. I have never really been a food junkie to the point that I can not control myself, my thoughts of eating the food is another story. Thanksgiving keeps running thru my mind right now. By then I will be able to eat some things, just smaller portions, MUCH SMALLER portions.
Please keep me in your prayers,

I am experiencing some of the same emotions. I have actually found myself craving foods that I haven't thought of in a very long time just because I know after tomorrow my relationship with food will change forever. This is something that will take time and lots of support to get over. I just keep dreaming of my "surgiversary" as I have seen so many times on this site. At that point all of this will be a faint memory.
I totally understand what you mean.. my surgery is at 1pm tomorrow and ive had water, vegetable boullin( which was good) and crystal light today .. and omg i so want them brownies i made the other nite, and i want zuccinni and squash I want these foods so bad I can feel them in my teeth... I want to chew chew chew, I am not hungry at all I just want that chewing feeling. ......
Good Luck tomorrow.. see you on the loosers bench!!!!
When I first started looking into WLS, I went straight into mourning at that time! I mourned the foods I would never have, and it was not logical. THEN I started to live the lifestyle and I found it wasn't so bad after all. It's all a matter of perspective.
You'll do great, and you will eat what you want to eat again.... but there are things you are missing now that you may NOT miss later!
Ohh... just as everyone else that has posted, i feel your pain. I was reading along just fine until i came to,"fried chicken and mac&cheese". GIRL!! lol! I think this is all part of it. i'm right behind you on wednesday. we're all gonna be great in a few weeks and these cravings will be on down the road. God Bless..
Hi,
I had RNY on 3/10 and was mourning food,feeling deprived,and sad when I came home the first few days...once you start to eat pureed/soft food's you will feel relieved. The worst part for me was jus****ching all the damn food commerical's come on TV knowing I couldn't have any of it really pissed me off. I started to turn my head away when I saw them come on...lol
My doc said I should be back to eating some moist real food my mid-april and by then I'm sure I will have lost alot of weight and wont even be missing it that much.
Good luck to you! It's a struggle I think everyone goe's thru with WLS.
I felt the same way the day before surgery. I am two weeks out now and havent been hungry yet. I am not saying that it is going to be easy but it is not as bad as you think it will be. The worst part for me was tasteless food, I finally got to have my first soft food meal yesterday and chose a high taste food. It was nice, but the thrill of food is gone for me. I am exicted about life again and I know you will feel the same. Its only the fear of what you are loosing and believe me you will realize soon its not all we thought it was.
Good Luck tomorrow and no fear!
