What I miss

I echo much of what has been said. You are only a little over two months out. Each month will get easier, especially as you lose more weight and seem more rewards from that. I am six months post op and yes, I do sometimes miss a certain food (Chinese has been on my mind lately) or I will miss eating (ie: pigging out) like I used to but I just try focusing on what the advantages are and soon it passes. Like most of us, I think those thoughts are related to emotions. The pounds will come off as long as you work the plan. I make homemade shakes with Greek yogurt and Inspire protein powder - sometimes I add frozen fruit (but that has carbs in it so be careful). Initially what I could tolerate for food was very limited and it WAS boring eating the same thing over and over but gradually my tolerance level is increasing and I am adding more variety. Habits formed over many years are not going to change over two months so be kind to yourself and you will get there!

I miss the absent minded fod world I had before.  I have to plan everything and fight with head hunger non- stop.

I can enjoy every food now but just because I can doesn't mean I should.   I can easily see hour I could out eat my surgery!  

I didn't tell anyone about my surgery so I have no one monitoring and such.  Tell them to mind their own business and that your food is not their issue!

The pounds add up fast over time, a year really is a very long time.  Don't worry it will all add up if you keep up with it.

Most important for me is when I miss something is to go ahead and find a substitute.  When I miss baked items, I bake a high protein egg- face souffle or donut.  When I miss ice cream, I freeze my shake in the ice cream maker.  When I miss spaghetti, I make spaghetti squash.  Cheese cake?  Sugar free pudding in greek yogurt.  

It is much much harder than I imagined.  I still deploy every diet trick in the book every day.  I don't feel like others that food doesn't taste as good or they are never hungry.  I want and need my regular meals!!! :)

I miss my boobs too but not my butt!
