I tell you what, you will be such different people with different issues. There are only a few things to worry about at the early stages.... MOSTLY though you are going to learn how to interract with people again. You will have to adjust to your new relationship with food.

This surgery is partly getting in water and vites and protein.... But also changing your head. The head changing didnt happen to me til maybe four months out. It will come.

And now it is just my life. A routine.

I love how you worded this. This is where I am finding myself-- my body is changing but my head is what needs the most work with how I relate to food.
Thanks for sharing.

Keep up the good work.

Hello fellow sister! (I was 1-24-11). Today I weighed and looking at the scale has now become an out-of-body experience. The number on the scale does not belong to me, it belongs to some other person, some other person that is thin and may actually have an unobjectionable body. But that person is not me. My girlfriend asked me how I liked how good I looked. I told her one of my dirty little "fatty" secrets: that I never used to look at myself in the mirror, as it was too horrifying. And that habit is still carried over. I do not look at myself in the mirror, except to catch a quick glimpse to make sure I am not wearing anything embarrassing. I do not know how long this will continue. Some day I may have to learn how to preen again. I have absolutely no idea of how I look. For right now I am just reveling in my new health and vigor. Good to hear from you! Power on!!

Some days I worry that I am going to wake up and I will be like 30 lbs heavier... That there was a malfunction with my scale.... I just cannot really believe I am here.

lol I thought I was the only one who thought like that.. some mornings I weigh 3 or 4 times. one because I cant believe the numbers I see and the other is I am expecting the numbers to change thinking the scale made a mistake. haha...It does take time to get your mind where it should be.
Hope everyone has a great day!!

I am so glad to be able to share this confusion I get between what the scale says and how my head processes it.... This surgery is so much more mental than I ever imagined. Bringing back up self esteem, knowing portion sizes by just eyeballing it..... It is not just "eat this, drink this...." it is "do this forever and it will change you forever."

Another big part is how people react to you now. And how you react to them, i am feistier...lol.
