9 weeks post-op

Apr 14, 2010

I can't believe that it's been 9 weeks (and a day) since my surgery.  I've been doing pretty good, in spite of the fact that the Easter bunny didn't leave me any treats  This past weekend we hosted a bridal shower for my son and his fiance.  Everything turned out beautifully!  I didn't have a problem with not having Easter candy or a piece of cake from the shower...what I did have a problem with was the Girl Scout Cookies that my niece delivered.  I forgot that we ordered them back at Christmas and since she came to the shower, it was delivery time.  Now don't get me wrong, I didn't take a bite but it made me sad to think that I gave up having Girl Scout Cookies ever in my life again!  When I finally got over it, I had my husband store them in the freezer in our basement, which I hardly ever (or should I say never) visit.

Just when I start to feel that things are normal, as far as my eating goes, I realize that I don't know what normal is.  I seem to have some troubles with certain foods, like chicken and pork.  Maybe I am eating too quickly or maybe the texture is just too dry for me yet.  I guess it makes me realize that there is a HUGE learning curve that I need to go through. 

I just need to look at the triumphs, like the fact that I am nearing the 200 lb. mark...which I haven't seen in about 20 years!  Ok, I feel better now
