Personally I cant WAIT to not be controlled by a hysterically needy appetite. I have my surgery on 9th January and cannot imagine what it must be like to NOT want to eat. I want to eat even when I have eaten lots of things and am relatively full. I wake up in the night and want to eat. And I sure seem to be able to eat more than anyone else.
It will be such a relief not to have my whole day overshadowed by making sure I get nowhere near hungry. It will be interesting to see how I feel post op,but I am mentally preparing myself for food to become simply fuel and not the myriad of things it has become for me during my lifetime. I have been fat since I was about 3 years old and I daren't even DREAM about what it would be like to not have to heave myself out of peoples furniture, refuse lovely days out because I just cannot walk the distance required, cross my legs, tie my shoes, put my own socks on, do my own gardening again, and look in a mirror without shuddering!! Please God, let me be one of those who goes right off food!! I bet any money, I will be the one with the stomach the size of a boiled egg and an appetite the size of a skyscraper....... Roxy
