On pins and needles....

Apr 06, 2011

 Okay, so I gotta be honest....I'm OVER this diet I've been on for the past 5 weeks and I'm happier than a hooker at a viagra convention that I go a week early for my 6 week post op visit!  I've already been told by my docs' awesome staff that crackers, cheese and peanut butter are in my immediate future!  Yee-Haw!  This has, by far, been the best decision I've ever made, but talk about having to figure my out how my crazy coconut works!  As of right now, I'm down 33 pounds at 5 weeks (tomorrow).  I have no problems knowing when to stop eating, which is wondermous, because now, for the first time in my life, I know what FULL feels like. HOWever!  I think I'm wiggin' out a little because, while certain foods peak my interest, I'm never to the point of "OMG..I'm starving!", so I get a sour feeling in my stomach, which makes me think that if I eat I'll become nauseous, when in all actuality, I'm missing the cue to put a little something in the pouch.  I truly suck at being a kangaroo.  Marsupials suck.  I have many issues with food, obviously....so I'm looking forward to leaning on you great people when the real food comes.  I'm excited and terrified all at once.  I'm so scared that the weight will come back as soon as I eat solid food.  Logic tells me that's insane, but I have this fear that I'll be the one this won't completely work for.  I did get some encouraging news yesterday, though...Kristen, who has been so patient with me, is a receptionist at my surgeons' office.  She had her 4 year surgeversay yesterday, and has lost and kept off 169 pounds.  What an inspiration!  I guess I need to keep those blessings in my sites.  I'll update things tomorrow!  Later, lovelies!
