16 days since my surgery

Jun 02, 2013

I am feeling better physically every single day.. Mentally today has been hard? why? Because it is the weekend , and there are not treats for me.. still creamy soup, yogurt.. blahh I am ready for the next food change.. Just watching TV commercials makes me want to eat.. though I am sure I most likely could not..It seems surgery like dieting is all mental. Thankfully I do not have a scale in the house or I would be obsessive on it daily...ok maybe a few times daily. Boo!

I have been worried sick I could strength my pouch out, or I could not lose weight.. I do not know why I do that to myself..

I have lost for sure 10 pounds since surgery, and 23 before surgery. I have not weighed in a week.. so I am losing.. but, mentally not doing too darn well..I come to this site often..and read and it helps.. this and you tube videos of those who have had GB.

So I am trying to not over fill my pouch and too drink more fluids. I work on it every single day.

No change is easy, and anyone who thinks for a hot minute that surgery was the easy way out has no idea!! It is more limiting than any diet could ever be. Not only did I have a major surgery to try and prevent, regain, it was costly having no insurance. There are many foods I will never be able to eat again.. but, I wanted to improve my health, so I could live a longer life for my children sake. Losing both my parents, has affected me greatly.
