2 Weeks Post Op
Dec 27, 2009
First and foremost, I want to wish everyone a late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.In one of my previous post I mentioned that I hadn't told my family about me having wls. Sooooo, of course I went home for Christmas and of course everyone kept offering me food to eat and I politely had to keep saying "no thank you, I'm not hungry." Eventually, I had to tell them that I had lap band surgery b/c they were starting to wonder why I was not eating. Much to my surprise, everyone was very supportive. I didn't get not one single negative reaction....thank God. That made me feel sooooo good. What a relief!!!!!
So Christmas day marked exactly 2 full weeks for me post op lap band surgery and I was finally able to start eating soft foods. I was looking forward to eating mashed potatoes, lol. I enjoyed finally being able to eat something other than jello, pudding, broth or yogurt. I have to admit, I did nibble (and I do mean nibbled) on a few items that I was not supposed to have such as chocolate cake and a piece of chicken. I tried my best to avoid eating it but I lost that battle really quick. Even though I knew I wasn't supposed to have that food, I didn't beat myself up about it. I guess I made it ok in my mind b/c I only had a small bite of it. I have to make sure that I do not continue this habit in the future b/c I know that this can become a problem. This is a process and I know that I will make mistakes along the way but this cannot be my excuse to purposefully do things that I know will not allow me to be successful on this journey. I WILL GET THROUGH THIS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!!!!!
