---eat like a normal person?

Drew your thought process and progression is spot on with the way I felt when I was where you were now. I think that you are well on your way with that attitude...OBTW, love the comment about the McD's, I was the same way, I would start arguing with myself on the way home from work and almost always gave in, sometimes my wife would come home and kiss me and smell the onion on my breath and I was caught!

Thanks for the post DX, I was beginning to get worried. At 6 weeks out I can eat just about anything, just such small amounts. Also, having trouble figuring out if I'm really hungry or if its just that "head hunger" I hear about. Don

Hi Dx, Another good post--thanks. My only other comment is this: Where does one go to find these "normal people"? I've yet to meet any!

Dx this is a great post for me. As I type this I am 23 lbs down since my first visit with my surgeon. I have been on an emotional roller coaster this week as I have started a low cal high protien diet as part of my pre op.they wanted me to lose 26 lbs. from my first visit. Thanks to the support I have gotten on here I know I'll make it. Oh and Thanks for the invite to post up here. I have been lurking here in the past just never posted.

Charles! July 10 will be here before you know it! It is rough at first, But if you’ve been knockin’ back that kind of loss pre-op? It’s an easier road ahead. (OK, the first weeks SUK! No kidding) But then? Life is easier on a lower gravity planet! Glad to see you posting! Throw out any questions you might have… Those last weeks before surgery can be an "Angst-Fest!" It helps to know you’re not alone. Best Wishes- Dx
