Totally and completely happy......

May 11, 2009

Here I am on day 12, having lost  pounds without once being hungry, naseated, in any semblance of severe pain, and without feeling deprived.  I have never in my life been more satisfied with any decision, and am actually hopeful, for the first time in YEARS, that I will lose the weight this time.  For me, the rules are easy to follow, especially when I see such results.  Would I like to chew on a big old greasy hamburger?  Well, the memory sounds delicious, but I can't imagine eating 2-3 bites - and then I'd probably feel like crap.  No, I'll stick with my eggs and mushies, and be perfectly happy.

I DO have an uncanny craving for sweet pickles, but can't appease it, since I'm a little afraid to eat something that crunchy yet.  I am able to eat tomatoes, which are a passion of mine.  I have not taken an injection of my diabetes medication, Byetta, since the surgery and the doctor suspects I won't have to take it ever again!  I DO get a little tired of vitamins (3 calcium citrate, 2 multi-vitamin, B-12, and iron) but it's a VERY small price to pay and I'm HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY.  I start back teleworking 4 hours a day on Thursday (which will be 2 weeks after my surgery on 4/29) and am looking forward to the looks on their faces when they see me - YEP, you can already tell a difference.

Life is good!!!!!!!
