My eyes and head are catching up

Oct 16, 2012

One thing I've struggled with has been over-eating my sleeve. It's not that I was a big over-eater before surgery and I miss stuffing my face. It's more that my eyes and head think that a sliver of a quesadilla the size of a dinner knife is not even close to being a meal. I have only had something like "the foamies" once, but I've been uncomfortably full quite a bit.

Lately I'm eye-balling portions much better. My eyes/head now see food options in terms of the actual size of my stomach. When I cut up the left over quesadilla from last night I cut a piece not much bigger than a dinner knife for my lunch today. I just ate it, and a cheese stick, and I'm good.  I had some Trader Joe's pulled pork the other night and one serving spoon full was totally adequate.

It is a GREAT feeling and good place to be at. I'm teetering on the verge of Onederland and am feeling more in synch between body and mind makes life much more comfortable. I think for me it was just an adjustment that took some time to "take". 

My latest bloodwork to check vitamins and minerals came out golden so from that perspective I'm right on target.
