On my way!

Apr 19, 2009

Welp, I will be 6 weeks post-op on Tuesday! I have to say....it's been a pretty wild ride so far!  I was nervous before the surgery because I thought I had to say goodbye to so many of my favorite foods.  As it turns out.....I said goodbye to them.....but I'm not sad to see them go!  Some things just simply don't taste the same.  I'm a little sad, but kinda not because those things got me to where I was before surgery!!!!  However, there is one thing that is making me a little blue.....Anyone who lives or has even been to the Cincinnati area, you've heard of Skyline and Goldstar.  It's "Cincinnati style" chili.....and it's the BOMB.  They serve it over spaghetti and top it with cheese......or coneys and burritos......there's so many things they do with it.  There's always a rival between the two chilis.....You either love Skyline, or you love Goldstar.  I, personally, have always loved both.  They even sell the chili frozen at the grocery stores......you take it home, cook it....and put it over your own spaghetti.........OMG.  It's been my favorite since I was a little kid!!!!  My mom made some the other day and I thought I would try some....even tho spaghetti is a no no...I was only going to have a couple of bites.  At this point...my nutritionist told me to eat what I can handle....and I'm still not holding but just a few bites at a time.....so what's the problem???  Well I tried it......and I was soooooooo sad.  It didn't taste the same to me!!!  I thought maybe it was just that batch of chili.......Nope.  I tried it again a few days later at the restraunt........... I hate it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I haven't attempted Gold star yet....but it's sooooo next on my list.   I hope it's not changed!

Anyway...that's really my only prob so far.  That and dealing with nosy/mean people in the food service industry.  Just because I don't wish to eat an obnoxious amount of their stupid food....they have to cop an attitude.  ~shrugs~  I'm starting to just laugh at it.  Who cares!!!!

So I'm fastly on my way to saying goodbye to the world of the "300's".  The scale has been creeping it's way down!!!  But I won't stop until I'm well into "Onederland".
