The good and the bad!
We'll start with the bad. I got Mirena put in last week. The following day I went up a pound, and everyday since I've been the same weight. This blows!! I know, I know, it's temporary, I will lose eventually, but it's annoying and ****** me off!! I also know that I need to get in more protein, but I just can't bring myself to drink three shakes a day! Tomorrow I might venture into pureed meat, but that kind of sounds disgusting. Maybe I will make some chili and blenderize the beeps out of it and it won't gross me out that bad. Anyway, whatever!
The good. I went to a wedding yesterday and I had FUN! I honestly did NOT have a good attitude about the whole thing going into it. I thought it would be frustrating and embarassing sitting and watching everyone eat while I sit back sipping my water, but that wasn't so. I did find there were some things to eat. They had italian wedding soup, so I had the broth, and then they brought out some italian ice between courses and I had that too, but anyway, the biggest thing for me was that it didn't really bother me that I couldn't eat! I realized that though these events are very food/meal centered, they don't have to be for me, and I can still have so much fun. I had a great time with my friends and I danced and chatted and probably for the first time in the 2 weeks since surgery I didn't think about my sleeve that much and felt like a normal person. It felt SO good. In some ways it felt like a big weight lifted off of my shoulders, it was like a "hey, this is all going to be great" kind of moment for me. I got lots of compliments on my appearance (which made me feel better about the number on the scale) and even though I still get a little pooped out because of the surgery, I felt like I had more energy than I have had in a long time. Overall a great experience!
