Current Eating
Oct 03, 2012
So I figured today I would blog. I am currently on lunch at work. I have been watching what I have been eating and watching the labels. I figure I should get into the habit now cause it will be a life habit after the surgery. I eat at lunch soup. Specifically Progresso. They have so many different varieties... Traditional, Light, Vegetable Classics, Reduced Sodium, Rich & Hearty, High Fiber & 100 calorie or less. I have been eating the Light, Reduced Sodium, 100 calorie. I do have a few of the other kinds but I am really trying to watch the ingredient list. These soups do fill me up. It has occurred to me over the last few weeks that I am eating less and less for either lunch or dinner. I get fuller quicker. I am not sure if this is something my mind is telling me to get use to as this will soon be the amount you will be eating, but I am not sure.Today is different. I had a package of 100 calorie crackers as a snack, then for lunch I brought one of my soups. Well to back track a day...we had a retirement party yesterday at work and of course we have leftovers. I did sample a few things but from experience I will get a small scoop of the dish and not several and several scoops. Now for lunch I was going to eat my soup, and still plan on it, but there was a green bean dish that was brought in late so i wanted to sample it today. I warmed it up and the soup. Well I ate the green beans but a couldn't eat the soup. I don't know if it was either the green beans made me full or the smell or taste of the soup turned me off. Now I am not going back for more of anything. I just really don't feel like eating.
I have yet to understand my body right now. I have NOT had any surgery, yet. But my eating has become strange. I rarely eat junk food now and I don't eat as much as I did last month. I am exercising and walking after work but my eating irregularity cannot be because of that.
Since the beginning of the month, when I started going to the gym, I have lost about 10 pounds. That is also about the same time that eating changed. I just cant figure out what all this means. It seems weird, but I am not sure. It is very confusing. I sometimes crave sweets but not as much as I once did. Maybe I will figure this out once I get an appointment with my nutritionist.
I was signed up for a seminar at UPMC-Horizon in Greenville. I am waiting on a phone call to start the nutrition plan. The ladies that work with Dr. Myers said not to worry if they don't call us right away because the patients from Hermitage were now being transferred to Dr. Myers as the doctor moved to Erie. I was hoping to start my 6 month supervised diet the beginning of October so I could hopefully get scheduled in April after the 6 months. It now looks like it wont be until November when I get in so that means MAYBE May 2013 for possible surgery date. Ugh! I wanted to go to Greenville cause it was closer but now I am wondering if I should have gone to Erie as they could have got me in right away with their nutritionist.
