It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Happy Holidays
I remember around this time last year planning my last supper and thinking about foods I'll never be able to eat again. Well like Helen said, you'll be able to eat any food post-op, just much smaller amounts... and in graduated steps. Some docs say no milk... no bread/pasta/rice/potatoes... well you'll find that you will be able to eat those things, but maybe just a bite instead of a 1/2 cup serving, and the power that food item once had over you won't be there any longer. For me it was cookies- but since I'm a dumper, any high sugar food makes me feel so awful that I don't get that same enjoyment from sweets that I used to. I'm so thankful for that!
All said, having a "last supper" was a great moment of closure for me and my dysfunctional relationship with food, and it opened doors to a healthier, 147lb lighter, brand new me. I couldn't be more thankful!
