finally feeling like myself

Feb 19, 2010

What a difficult ride it has been. I ended up in the hospital TWICE for UTI and possible abscess. I took my last horse pill (antibiotic) last night. Yesterday, I finally started to feel "normal" - like my old self. It has been SO LONG since I felt normal. I am so relieved.

So far, the weight has been coming off with little effort on my part. I have been enjoying all kinds of foods. I am putting nothing off-limits. Most of the time, I don't even want cookies, chips, etc. Plus, I just can't fit much in. My nut said I can eat whatever I want, protein first. Now I wonder if I'll be one of those that can't stop losing weight after they reach goal. Hard to picture.

I do miss the comfort of eating a lot of food. Sometimes it feels like it is too much trouble to eat, since I can eat so little. But I am pleased that I am restricted in amount, and that it is easy for me to say no to many foods I used to mindlessly eat.

There were plenty of times during the last 7 weeks that I thought, what have I done? I wish I could go back before surgery and NOT do it! Now, I am more at peace.

It is true what they say - It gets better every day!!!
