So at least I know my VSG works...
Aug 25, 2009
OK, so i have blogged previously that i was concerned that i could consume more than i thought i should without feeling like i have overeaten so i was very nervous that my sleeve didn't work....wellIT WORKS!
Last night i tried a recipe that was given to me by a fellow VSGer which is simply ricotta cheese with a little light tomato sauce over it with protein sprinkled in and then heated up. It is like lasagna without the noodles. Well to say the least...it was delicious to me! Well i ended up making more than i had originally planned so i scooped out a little and ate it but after i was done i was satisfied but (in my skewed opinion) i thought i still was a little hungry. Well there was a little left over which i didn't think was that much so i decided to eat it. Well i did (and probably a little too fast too) and MAN DID I KNOW I OVERATE!!!!!
My stomach cramped, i could feel the food moving down my stomach and i was nauseous for hours. This morning i woke up (and I'm usually very hungry for my protein shake) and i sooo don't even want to think about eating or drinking anything!
I know i should not have eaten that much and i definitely regret it but in a weird way, it definitely gives me some comfort to know that my restriction works! I definitely won't make that mistake again and I'm realizing that i don't know what full feels like b/c the old me was so use to overeating that almost every meal i felt miserably stuffed thus that is what i eventually equated as full. So when i felt that familiar miserable feeling last night (though much worse with A LOT less food)...i realized that i wasn't truly enjoying food like i thought i was, i was just eating until i was miserable every day. What a way to live!!
So, this morning, i sit here very thankful for my surgery and ready for the next step. I know that i will struggle with the scale (when i retain some water and gain a pound) but i am beginning to believe that this might just work for me...and that is a miracle!
