You love me, you really love me...

Hi guys! It's so nice to get back online today and see people looking for me, and sending e-mails wanting to know how I'm doing! It really brightened my morning! I've had a little trouble with hormones - weepy, crying over silly things the past few days. I know it's all normal, and I'm not too concerned, but I've just been kind-of keeping to myself. I have very strange thoughts going through my mind at times, and either I'm crazy, or you guys who are post-op can relate. I find myself sometimes feeling sad watching a commercial with really good-looking food in it... NOT because I'll never have it again - because I know eventually I can have pretty much a little of anything... but because I can't DIVE in and gorge myself on it. :wow: WHAT???!?!?? Why would that upset me? I have weird dreams about eating HUGE bites of pizza, burgers, stuffing my mouth with fries... URGH. What have I done to myself all these years? Anyway, in the 'real world' I'm doing good! Keep up on my fluids, protein... transitioning a little to pureed/soft stuff. Cottage Cheese was like a gormet meal! I was SO glad to take a bite of that!!!

Hi Katie!! I so know what you mean about the hormones. It was weeks before I could even turn on TLC lol. I sat there and watched the food network - Emeril is too funny but it was like total punishment or something. It gets better though! I'm so glad to hear you're doing well! Keep up the awesome work and maybe sometime I'll see you at a post-op meeting! Huggzzz, Cathy

Hi Katie: Have been keping a watch hoping you would post. I have been meaning to call but it has been so hectic and sounds like with your hormones raging it was better I didn't until you work trough that phase. Hope you are doing great, it sounds like you are...Let me know how your check up went via e-mail opkay. Take care Tender hugs Ramona

hi katie! my first two weeks out i would dream that i was going to eat somewhere and i would forget i had surgery so i'd start eating a whole loaf of uncut bread, just start ripping off pieces with my mouth.... then i'd dream i was out with friends and couldn't find anything i could eat and would freak out. so i can relate to that. and what cathy said abou****ching food network... i was watching last night and had to change the channel. i think our bodies are changing so fast that it will take our heads awhile to catch up! we'll get there. take care and hope your hormones behave themselves soon! tracy
