Almost 2 weeks out

Sep 18, 2011

 Wow!! It'll be 2 weeks on Tuesday since I decided to change my life forever and have the sleeve. It's been interesting. I am having a harder time choking down the protein shakes.  I am really so sick of the flavor of sweet stuff!! Never thought I'd catch myself uttering that!! I have some of the soups when I can't take the sweet but still the whole liquids thing is getting old. It would be nice to chew something!!  The closest I've come to chewing anything has been the protein jello which was a VERY strong raspberry flavor.  I said I would do whatever it takes and whatever they told me so I will continue being a good little soldier and trust the process that has helped so many succeed.

I am excited for my 2 week appointment on Wednesday. I am waiting until then to weigh in officially so I still don't really have any idea of what I've lost since the day of surgery when I weighed in at 356.2.  I have a long ways to go but it took me awhile to hit that number so I guess it's fair.  I am hoping to have done well these past two weeks weight loss wise. I lost 16 pounds the 2weeks before the surgery so hopefully at least that much would be cool!!

Had a few emotional moment over these last two weeks also. I think I am mourning to some degree the loss of food and how I used to eat.  Yet at the same time I am so glad I can no longer eat that way.  Very strange emotional tug of war.  I wonder if and how I will change as a person. Not just looks wise but will my personality be affected by looking and feeling like a different person. Will I ever see past "the fat person" I'm so used to seeing in the mirror.  I guess you take everything as it comes and it doesn't all happen at once or overnight. Well, I will post more after Wednesday's appointment.
