I don't know if this is normal, but after I had my initial visits with the bariatric surgeon and internal medicine doctor who is monitoring my 90-day medical weight loss requirement. I went into a sort of food mourning, I had managed to loose a few pounds initially, but then I was treating myself to whatever my heart desired and I regained the few pounds. I started checking myself, and asking why? part of me felt that once I have the surgery, I would never be able to enjoy the foods I love. If I am honest, it made me kind of angry at myself.
I had to reach deep inside to let go of that food mourning feeling, mostly because it scared me how fast I can gain weight, and how fast I lost sight of my health, which is the number one factor I want to do the surgery.
So, for the last three weeks more or less I have been really conscientious of everything I put in my mouth. It has paid off, I am down to 236lbs, and seeing the scale go below 240lbs is really encouraging!
