Is This Normal???

Well today is the start of our 2-week Pre-Op diet. My wife and I are getting sleeved on 07-12 and yesterday was our last day for "bad" foods. I have to say we indulged quite a bit like it was our "last supper".  Afterwards I realized what had happened and couldn't believe how much  that food has been a crutch in my life. I was wondering if anyone else had similar emotions when they realized their journey was truly about to begin? I understand this is not the end, but only the beginning of a healthier lifestyle.

I've always been an emotional eater and I was afraid that having a sleeve would prevent me from feeling that comfort. Turns out, I dont miss the overeating at all. In fact, not feeling like I want to inhale my food is so freeing and I love going out to eat at restaurants and getting satisfied on a small amout of food.
It's normal to want to indulge before your surgery. But you are right, this is not the end but the beginning to good health and if you are like most of us, you will be loving the life your sleeve will provide for you. Good luck to you and your wife!!!

 I didn't have a pre-op diet, but I certainly had quite a few last suppers leading up to my surgery.
What was really shocking was how depressed I was after surgery. My grandfather died 4 days after my surgery and I was SO ANGRY that I couldn't gorge myself with good food like the rest of my family. All I wanted was some lasagna, some fried chicken, anything! 

It made me realize how food can contain & controll your emotions. Food can make you happy. It was so hard to eat popsicles and watch everyone else eat homemade meals after my grandfather's death. But I did it and got through it.
