A Christmas Revelation

I realized today at Christmas dinner how little I like eating now. That's a HUGE change as I always ate with such gusto! Now it's just a 'chore' (not sure if that's the right word, if not, it's close!) that I have to get through. It made me sad lol, just something else to work out in therapy! My mother is now worried that I'll go the OTHER way...
I went to my friend's house the other night, the one that I was worried about pre-op because the whole night seems to revolve around eating... I took my own little dinner and concentrated more on the company, which was nice.
I tell ya, all these new little revelations are really keeping my therapist busy! rofl

My therapist is VERY busy too!!!  Trust me, more and more for both of you to come but you're on the right track since you're focusing on the company/people and not the food. I still find eating a bit of a chore but know that it will get better.  Keep working your tool and you're well on your way to a healthier you!

Yes, it is like that often for us, especially early out.  It does get better (or worse depending on how you look at it) because eating does eventually become enjoyable again - but not like it was before surgery.  It's totally wild, huh?

I'm glad things have worked out with your friend thus far!

I know what you mean, I sat at dinner last night at my folks and even at 9 months out I could not eat like I would have and for a minute or a second, I felt deprived but then I relized what I had in exchange for that food I could not eat on my plate and it made it all right again.   Hang in there your desire for food and to eat will unfortunately return and then you will wish you could go backwards like I feel today.....depressed.....lol
