3 days out...MISSING FOOD

Hello All...I'm sure I'm not the only that has gone through 'mourning' foods that are terribly bad for us....Any words of support?

HELLO DENISA, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. THE FIRST FEW WEEKS I JUST KEPT THINKING MAYBE I HAD MADE A MISTAKE BY HAVING THE SURGERY AND I JUST WANTED A GREAT BIG BURGER!! ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET TO WHERE YOU CAN HAVE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING, IT WILL JUST BE IN SMALLER QUANTITIES. YOU ARE SO EARLY OUT..THINGS WILL GET SO MUCH BETTER AND THINK OF THE WEIGHT THAT YOU WILL LOSE! TAKE CARE!

Yes.. I think we all do it! We lost one of our bestest friends, that was always there. Just focus on how sexy you will look in a few months...and .. I PROMISE it gets much better- in fact thats one of the best things for me about this sugery, food is no longer a focus.

I 100% agree with Michelle....It gets easier as the time goes on and what's more important this surgery liberates you from being a slave to food...best of luck to you, Rita.

Denisa, Hi! You'll get through it and its so worth it. Just think in about 3 months you will have lost so much weight that you won't even recognize yourself. You'll soon be back on regular food before you know it. You will only be able to eat smaller portions thats all. Hang in there my friend. You finally made it to the other side. Remember, drink water, no sugar & no carbonate drinks, the carbonation will stretch your pouch. I am now a year out boy time sure has gone by down from a size 26/28 to an 8 from 310lbs to 158 total weight loss since journey began 152 lbs. Congrats on becoming one of us. Just make sure you follow your doctors protocols, eat & drink slowly. Stay in touch.

THank you all so very much!!!!! Of course, I still look at the food I'm preparing for my hubbie and my son...YUMMY lol...But as you guys have said...I'm only focusing on how good and I'm going to feel and look...I'm also focusing on preparing healthy meals for my family so that THEY NEVER have to go through overweight issues.... THANKS AGAIN!!!
