STRANGE

I know exactly why I've eaten more than my body needed to maintain a healthy weight. I'm hungry! I'm on my pre-op diet and I'm hungry! Did I mention that I'm hungry? It's not a sort of peckish, gee I could eat something hunger. It's an "if I don't eat something soon I'm going to bite your head off" hunger. Ketosis sucks. Pre-op diet sucks. Protein shakes suck. And my prayer is to be delivered of the burden of hunger or I will surely be fat forever because I cannot sustain this.

So there.

I'm with you Sister! I hope to become one of the delivered a week from today. Pre-op diet sucks. I was sick all day yesterday. My stomach actually gurgled and I could feel it churn. This morning I woke up and tried to eat some left over tomato soup and threw it up. However....I was pretty good the rest of the day. Maybe I have turned the corner. One more week. I am praying for the same mental deliverance that the others spoke of.

I know exactly what you mean, we have family potlucks all the time and I jus****ch in amazement sometimes as people actually shovel food in before they even chew the bite they have. They can't possibly be tasting the food. I hope I wasn't that bad pre-op but suspect that at least at times I was. Even tho my band hasn't worked that well for me at least I still have to take small bites and chew like crazy or it won't go down. We are truelly blessed that we have these surgeries available to us. I'm so glad you are doing better!
