2nd week post-op

Jan 06, 2010

two weeks post-op.  This thing is harder than i thought!!  My mind is playing tricks on me! Besides the fact that i seem to always be hungry ( I know, I know, "head" hunger-it still feels real to me).  It seems like there is nothing "good" to eat.  Then when i do eat, i take a few bites and that is it!  I think i am in some kind of mourning.  I miss food.  It was a comfort to me.  It was there when i was happy and when i was sad.  When i was bored, when i wanted to celebrate and when i was upet.  Now, my old "friend" is gone.  I am trying to think of things i can do in place of eating.  But nothing seems to take the place.  It's kinda depressing.  I am trying to make it through this phase and i know that i will.  But my word, how long will it last?  When will the longing go away? Or at least diminish.  When i feel like this i try to focus on the weight loss.  Since, I have started this process i have lost about 40 pounds.  That is great!  I am able to wear some clothes that were a little too tight on me before.  Wonderful!  Maybe when i started to physically notice the change in my size these feelings will pass.  Lately I have been worrying that i wil lose the weight and then gain it all back later.  I don't want to be like that.
I don't want to sound so negative, and i am happy that i had my RNY.  I guess i just have some adjusting to do!
