QOTF, TGIF 10/27

Happy Friday Kids!!! Today's question: What is the one thing that you thought would change after WLS that didn't? Being pre-op I can't answer this, but I still thought it was an interesting question. Rachelle

I think it was the cravings or hankerings... Not for food itself, but for the "comfort" aspect of food. Every time you have a bad day and you can't go home and eat a big bowl of ice cream you recognize the void. Carnie Wilson recently admitted that she filled that void for a few years with alcohol... Which is easy to do for some of us b/c we are cheap drunks! lol...

Good question...Rachelle Here is my answer. I really thought that once I had surgery that I wouldn't be able to consume any sweets, cookies, cake and candy but for me I can eat any sweet under the sun. I don't dump. So I have to really watch my eating habits. I eat sweets in moderation. Dont aske me why I can eat sweet don't know but i can. Its not a good thing. But I don't want to ever be 431 Pounds again so I watch everthing that goes in my mouth.

I really thought my knees would not hurt anymore and it frustrates me that I still have issues. I will say that my doctor thinks it may be a torn meniscus so I need some xrays, but still I really wanted to walk like i used Take care Erin

i dont think i had any unrealistic thought about the surgery. but i can say one thing... i never realized how much my life revolved around food, not just eating. i'm finally (but still do at times) getting out of the habit of over shopping. I do buy healthier but i cant fit one more thing in my cupboard or in the fridge. i'm also not over feeding everyone around me anymore. actually i'm not feeding them bairly at all lmao. take care all!!!!

Still feeling way to new to know how to answer this - but I am noticing that the amount of food I can eat is already more than I thought it would be. Steve
