9 days out and the feeling of regret...

Dec 29, 2010

I was so excited about a week and a half ago about this new life of having VSG. I still know that my thought process is somewhat normal. I know that the long term results will be so much better than I could ever anticipate. I also know that my cravings are all psychological.

I have been having the worst cravings I've ever had in my life. Even when I was pregnant, I have never felt cravings like this. Oddly enough, my belly feels like it's actually growling. I believe that the "growling" is most likely gas, but, it is killing me. This pureed diet is not my favorite at all. I am even starting to feel pain from sleeping too much. Pain in my arms and legs. I confess that I have not walked as much as I should. My medical leave at work is until February, so, what else can I do but catch up on sleep? We've had a really bad snowstorm in NYC a few days ago and I can't walk outside in the snow. It's all catching up with me and I'm beginning to regret this whole surgery.

I feel like I don't know what to do at this point. I have an appt with my therapist on Friday, so I know I'll discuss this matter. It's just so hard for me to move forward from WANTING food.

Let's see how the days go.
