13 lbs gone!
Dec 15, 2010
My 1st post-op visit went well. Dr. Chasen was full of charm, wit, jokes and support as always. I had a good cry with him and my best friend, who has been an absolute angel to me. He reminded me that at this stage I'm mourning the loss of my relationship with food and that I will have many cries. He says it's like mourning the loss of a good friend. Food was my good friend. It comforted me, it made me happy, it has rewarded me and accepted me when others would not. I was so in denial that I had a food addiction. Now it is completely crystal clear to me that I AM A FOOD ADDICT.I was discussing with Dr. Chasen how everything always revolves around food, like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, holidays, any type of gathering you can imagine and there is food involved. I also shared with him how every time my best friend and I got together eating was a part of our plans. He said we had a sort of scrumptious,delicious type of relationship. He's so right and hilarious at the same time. Well now we'll just have to find other things to do together which won't be hard since we've been friends for 40 years! Shopping is another one of our favorite pastimes! I know that is going to be fun, especially since I will be buying smaller clothes! YIPPEE!!! Can't wait!
I am also missing having dinner with my family. We have always sat down and had dinner together but right now I just can not handle sitting at the dinner table and not consuming the delicious dinners that my best friend has been preparing for them. Once again I am so blessed that she has been doing the cooking and I haven't had to come near the kitchen!!! WOO-SAA!!!!
Well Dr. Chasen says he doesn't care how much I cry as long as I am walking and he doesn't care how much more I cry as long as I am drinking...lol! He said, Cry and walk and then cry some more and drink that water!" I absolutely love him! He's like a good friend who only wants the best for me. Period.
For some reason I am retaining lots of fluids and Dr. Chasen doesn't know why so he wants to see me back in his office on Wednesday. My belly is very tight and very uncomfortable, although I do feel better than yesterday. I'm praying that everyday shall get better and better. With Jesus as my guide, I know this shall be. I am faithful.
So proud to be on the Loser's Bench~~~~~~>>13 pounds gone!!!!
