Do you ever miss...(instert quantity here)!

So I was grilling up some hot dogs tonight for dinner and I started thinking...always a bad sign.  Does anybody ever miss being able to eat several of anything instead of one (or less)?  Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but I really felt bad, for a while,  that I could no longer eat four or five.  I was just wondering if I'm the only one that this has happened to?

what about it did you really miss? just the ability to say you can if you want to? i guess i can see how that loss of control could bother you, but the trade-off you made was still a great one.

i completely agree about the trade off and in my head i know that it was worth it.  i don't really know what the issue is...food addiction i guess.  weird how everything else you're expected to go cold turkey on except, well...turkey!

I don't think I miss the actual act of eating 2-3 hotdogs as in the past, but it does feel weird to me to eat such a small portion.........My mind has not cought up yet I guess!!  But I love the new feeling!!  ~Sarah~

Hi Joe - I am still pre-op but have been trying to change some of my eating habits to prepare for post-op. One thing I have learned to tell myself is : The 2nd one...or 3rd...or 4th...won't taste any better than the first one did.  Dunno...seems to help me. Hope it helps you. Mare

Hi joe- You are gonna love my answer! Just remember I AM a blonde! I am on the road tonight- had dinner with a friend and I miss having only ONE beer! (More like the 1/3-1/2 of ONE beer before the instant buzz, feel like I've been drinking from a keg all night feeling smacks my brain!!!). My body is hilarious- sending me not so sublte messages that I don't need beer- but the old habit of 2 or 3 before , during and after the meal is hard to break. Can not imagine if I drank 2-3 beers. They would be locking me up in Paris Hilton's old cell!!! Hope tomorrow is a better day for you- just remember how good that 299lbs feel! You look great! Sheila

thanks guys...oh, and beer's are fun :)

  

Ok- this is OT, but Sarah made me do it!- Sooo- Sarah- how many of those 100 bottles of beer on the wall are you bringing to the beach???? Just think- we can open 1 beer, hand out straws and probably 6 people can get a buzz of 12 ounces! Sheila

 ...............Between us all...I think a 6 pack should do.............we are cheap dates!!
