Week 5...ugh!

Mar 30, 2009

I am into my 5th week and to be honest I am having a few struggles.  Nothing I can't get past but yes, I am having struggles.  I do find encouragement from those of you who are 6 mos. or more out because you keep saying how much easier it gets.  I have to say that I find myself wanting it to get easier right now!

First off, I am not able to eat much at all.  This bothers me because I haven't lost any weight in a week and I think it is because I am not eating much but I can't seem to eat more than a few bites without it feeling like it is backing up into my chest.  It is quite painful but I remind myself that it is temporary.  I am following my doc's diet and I am chewing slowly and eating slowly so I am pretty sure I am doing all of that right. 

There are about 4 or 5 things that seem to work best so I eat them but it is so monotonous.  I think I am just going through a little bit of a grieving process.  I miss my old friend food.  No matter what has gone on in my life I could always depend on some delicious comfort from my old friend any time day or night.  Now I am left looking for a replacement.  I know like everything, this too shall pass.  I just want it to pass right now, just like I want to be down 60 lbs. right now.  I am so impatient.
