Last day of 2008!

Dec 31, 2008

What a long and interesting year.
Just wanted to put a post up saying that I made it through the tough part and am now able to eat soft solid protein.  No more broth and Jello and I have been allowed to go to 2 protein shakes per day as opposed to 3.  Am down 17 lbs, 17 lbs in 10 days!!  Wow!  My NP at my surgeon's office told me to look for 2-4lbs weekly, since I am on the smaller (ha funny to hear that come out of someones mouth) side of most WLS patients.  We'll see.  Am still tired and very lazy...remnants of the old me..doesn't help that we are in the middle of winter in New England!  I am thinking about climbing my small stairway for a bit of exercise.
I am happier now than last week, I was devastated at first, I was questioning why I had gone ahead with the surgery.  My head is in a slightly better place now, but I do miss food.  I need to really believe that it is fuel for the body and not a constant stuff your face fest!  I do find myself turning to the thought of putting stuff into my mouth even though I have just finished eating!!!  Amazing!  I find myself snapping at my husband who says he wants to lose some weight, but will have a bowl of cereal 15-20 minutes after eating.  We'll figure it out!

All for now, I could continue forever!

Happy New Year!!!
