Re-learning my relationship with food

Sep 24, 2011

I have new guts.  But I have old tastebuds.  Despite the warning that my tastes may change after surgery, I have the same love for the same (evil) comfort foods.  I quickly tired of protein shakes, but no other real changes.  Now I'm approved for "real" foods with the order to go slowly.  I've had little difficulties - except for myself.  My biggest challenge is my portion control.  I'm not great at keeping the drinks to 1/2 hour before and after, but I'm really bad about trying that one more bite - and feeling like I would really like to lose the whole meal.  I don't seem able to lose it, though - I blame that weirdness on surgery, too.  Now the portion that I eat is still smaller than it was.  I've lost some weight - but not as much as i want.  I guess I need to go back to basics...
