Well its been a while since my last post. I feel pretty good though I did deal with kidney stones durring february. Two different surgeries and a month of high doses of pain killers took a toll for sure. I just wish someone would have told me that coming off of pain killers cold turkey was a BAD thing. That was a hard 10 days to be sure. Anxiety, halucinations, not sleeping and nightmares when I did sleep. Ick!! That will teach me to to make sure I get enough vitamin D from now on. (helps keep stones from forming)Other than that the weight is still coming off, slowly now. I suppose I could just go back on the shakes for a couple months and shed the rest but I feel really good and have a new found appreciation for really good food. I mean realllllllllly good food, like filet mignon and such... I always thought I was a foody but I was just an eater before surgery. Now I know what it really means to appreciate really good food. I could care less about the junk food I used to like, fast food burgers and fried crap. I can now justify spending a few extra bucks for the fancy dinner at a nice eatery as I dont care much about portion size anymore, only that most portions are way too big. Whats funny though is I am so used to eating small amounts that when I see a plate full of food I dont see one meal and wonder what else I can order to fill me up, I see 3 maybe 4 meals all one plate and hope I dont waste it by not eating it in the next few days. And sometimes it does go to waste. There are worse things I suppose. To think I was the guy who would eat 3lbs+ of steak, and potato and salad and dessert and think hmmmmmm, I could probably eat another pound of meat, and now I can make a petit filet of 6oz with trimmings go for 3 meals... it boggles the mind. My mind is evolving and I like new thought processes. I think its a good thing...
