And So I Begin

[terrie]

So Now It's Real!! Nanette Just Called Me Yesterday And My Insurance Was Approved. That Was The Last Thing I Was Worried About. Well, Thats Not True I Have Alot Of Concerns. Like, I Work From Home And Just Eat All Day, Not Because I'm Hungry, I Think Because I'm Bored. So Will That Habit Go Away? Also, I Have 3 Men In My Life That Love To Eat, A Husband, A Teenage Boy , And A 10 Year Old Boy. Will Cooking For Them Make Me Resentful? My Surgery Is Set For March 3rd, I Am Excited And Worried All At The Same Time. See Ya All At The Febuary Group Meeting.

Hi Terrie;

I Just Got My Date From Dr. Allam Yesterday Also. I Am Set For May 19. I Have To Wait Awhile So That I Will Have Help After Surgery With My 2 Little Girls. I Have The Same Worries That You Do About Feeling Deprived. Everyone Has Told Me That This Is Normal And That Since You Don't Feel Hungry It Won't Bother You To See Them Eat. I'll Be Thinking Of You.

Hi Ladies,

R_CHAM118. Congrats to both of you for stepping into the journey of a LIFEtime. If your anything like most of us, you won't resent cooking for your families, in fact you'll enjoy it :D , because you won't crave it any longer. Its no longer important anymore. At least thats how it is for me. My desires have changed. Now instead of thinking about food all the time, I wanna go shopping bolt.gif and buy smaller clothes......food is not the center of my universe. Go into it willing to change, and you will. Good luck to you both, and keep us up to date. Will see you at the Feb meeting.........~`elaine

ps I'm only 4 months out, and have no regrets, I would do it again tomorrow.

HI I am a little over 2 months out and I can honestly say that it doesn't bother me one little bit when others eat in front of me or when I cook for my family. The one thing that is a little hard is we are an out to dinner family as well and that has been hard for me because others are uneasy around me when I am not eating but thats their problem not mine!! I can say for the first couple of weeks (at the least) make sure you have help incase you need that help and don't be afraid to ask!!!!
