Gearing up for surgery
Hi all. I'm going for my information session in March and then after that surgery is a few months later. It takes awhile to get through the Ontario program but I don't mind because there are a lot of tests and appointments to make sure that this is the right thing and that it is going to work in the long term. I'm a lot nervous about it, I'd be foolish to say I wasn't but I am looking forward to it. To everyone who thinks that WLS is a cheat, woo boy, you haven't read through any of the information I have.
Just something I've been thinking about if people who have had the surgery read this and can answer, what do you miss the most about eating? This is going to be a completely new and different way of eating (in a good way of course) and I'm not worried that I won't be able to do it but I just wonder if I will miss not being able to eat the way I eat now. I don't know if this is coming out the way I'm thinking in my head. I think we all have a love/hate relationship with eating and food. It is literally wanting to have your cake and eat it too. I want to be healthy and slender (or at least slenderer, thin is not even a word I think) but I want to be able to eat the way I do now. I guess it's one of those things I am going to have to work out as I go through this whole WLS process, a good reason it takes several months to go through, to fix my head as well as my stomach!
