Pre-op Diet
Hi,
Just wanted to share a little story - I went out for lunch with my mom this week. She is four years post RNY and I am almost four months post Realize Band. We went out for chinese food. But the difference now is that we go out for relaxation, conversation, company, etc. I am no longer going out to eat to get stuffed. We make healthier choices and end up leaving wtih a whole dinner left over. I actually take the time to taste the food and enjoy it rather than not thinking and just eating for the sake of eating.
I was so worried about all the food I would have to give up and for a while everyday before surgery felt like the last supper. I thought "I'll never have ice ceram, chinese, fried food and all the things that got me here in the first place. Trust me the focus will shift. You will forget how imortant food has been in your life and actually learn to enjoy this new lifestyle. I eat just about everything I ate before but I just eat it different.
My mom is at a clambake today. She went armed with tupperware for her leftovers.
You can do it!!!!
