An Introduction of sorts
Sep 25, 2011
My name is Lisa and i am starting this blog at an odd time in my journey. I am 11 months post-op RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery. My surgery was done on 10-18-2010. I have , to date, lost 130 lbs and am still inching slowly downward. I have long ago passed my surgeons goal and my own personal goal, although I am lowering my personal goal. I will tell more of my pre-op story as we go on.
I am starting this blog as a diary of sorts, a place to purge my thoughts regardless of how irrational of silly they may be at times.
Right now the biggest thing on my mind is the fact that I am 11 months out and am beginning to push my limits. Not only my food choices, but my volume limits as well. I am still searching for the "fullness" that I searched for before surgery. Like over eating was going to fill the empty place inside me.
That sounds sad, like I have a lonely, sad life. In fact the opposite is true. I have an incredible life, a great husband, a lovely home and a great job. I have 2 children, one is a joy, the other a stressor at times, but overall they are good kids. So why do I have an empty space to fill? I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE! What am I searching for in food? I don't know........
That is why I have decided that its time to get some of these thoughts and feelings out in the open and research them a bit.
I hope that over time others will read and join in my search for sanity!
Until next time!
