It's only been a week of pre-op diet!

Feb 23, 2015

I survived week 1 (2 to go)of the preop diet  medi-fast and (similar products)  4 times a day and 1 bar.  I lost 7.4 pounds.  I don't miss the food as long as I dont taste it or eat it.  My husband however seems to feel the need to keep asking me when I will be able to eat real food again?  will we ever be able to go out to a restaurant again? I have told him I dont miss food really. My past mentality was that  Usually when on a diet  I would think  once I get down to my goal i can eat again.  I think my husband is now thinking once I have surgery I can eat what I want again.  I keep telling him  I will still have to make good choices.  I am approaching this like I am a alcoholic really a carbaholic.  If I don't eat bread, rice, pasta treat them like they are the plague I wont restart the carbaholic addiction I have hidden in me.  There are so many more foods in the world.  Since December when I started all of this I for the first time was able to see that some food when it I felt full and satisfied for a long period of time.  Some foods I ate only made me want to eat more.  I have wanted surgery for years and years and now 2 weeks from today I will have it. I read over the paperwork and think I can do this and some days I read it and feel like the judges gavel is slamming down handing over my sentence. I know my future is up to me and sucess is in my hands.
