WOW WHAT IS THIS!!!!!

ITS LIKE MY ENTHUSIASM IS GONE , IM SUPPOSE TO BE GOING ON SEVERAL VACATIONS THIS SUMMER AND LOST INTEREST BECAUSE IM THINKING TO MY SELF DAYUMMMM I CANT EAT AND THATS PART OF HAVING FUN .LOL BUT THIS IS REAL TALK. HAS ANY ONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS? AND DOES IT GET BETTER AS FAR AS THIS WAY OF THINKING.

Things do change after wls....I know I dont get excited about events that involve food anymore. Also I always hope they are serving something healthy when I do go.

I agree things do change...I am looking very forward to vacation this year... Yes food is a big part of "our" lives but once you start losing the weight and gain more energy your focus will change.

Don't worry, that's just a phase most go through.  Food is such a big part of our lives pre-op....we can't help but relate events with food. 

As time passes (post-op)  I have started to gain my enthusiasm back.  Not for the eating/food...but for the new energy I have gained to do more things and enjoy the vacation, (event, whatever)....even more. 

Just to give you an example:  I have always loved to travel, but before my WL, I hated the whole airport/airplaane ride experience.  All that walking and getting out of breathe at the airport, and the dreaded seatbelt thing on the plane.  Now, I don't even give it a second thought.

Little things like that makes missing the food and eating so trivial.  The Wow moments help keep you going.

I hope that made sense.

IT DID THANKS KIM

I have similar thoughts.  I am mourning foods that I know I will not be able to eat such as Subway sandwhiches.  But I'm hoping that I will develop new interests because of the weight loss to help keep my mine off food so much. 

Family Bar b ques not gonna be the same.  Dang!!

ECHO MY MAN WHAT UP BRU. HOPE YOUR FEELING BETTER. YEA IT WONT BE THE SAME SO I WILL MAKE THE BEST OF IT/.

I was like that right before surgery too.  I wa****ting my favortie food holidays too.  Now here it is Easter and I don't miss food like I used to before surgery.  Now eating is like, oh yeah, dang I gotta eat something before I pass out.  You'll have a great summer because you won't be as heavy as last summer.  That's always a great thing to look forward too.

I must admit the entusiasm did go down a little....However last summer i was 302 today I weigh 210, so that means more to me than a plate of food.  Not to mention everybody around you gonna already be staring at you so they can see how much or little  food you eat...

I HATE THAT!!!

I was wondering the same thing...
