Friday was 11 weeks!

Apr 25, 2010

Time is flying by, but I often feel that it has been much longer than 11 weeks since my surgery. It seems more like 6 months already. I have to remind myself that it is only 11 weeks and that I am doing very well with my weight loss. It seems so slow sometimes, but whenever I change my weight on my graph and look at where I was a short time ago, I can see that it really IS progressing in the right direction. It has been a long time since I weighed what I way now, about 23 years long!!

This morning I tried on a pair of my husband's size 36 jeans and was actually able to get them on and all the way up. Now, they wouldn't close to button and zip by a couple of inches, but I was still amazed that I had been able to get them on at all! It has been a long, long time, LOL. I can't wait to be able to actually button and zip them.

Yesterday was the wedding shower for my son and his fiance and we had a  blast. Out of all the great food that was there, all I was tempted by was the old fashioned Southern-style punch. Since it is full of sugar and pineapple juice, I did not cave in to temptation! I was able to have a bite of the 2 different cheese balls- one made with chicken and one all cheese. Both were very good. Luckily, fat doesn' t bother me. My son's future MIL told me she felt really bad eating in front of me when I couldn't eat all the goodies. I explained that I was not at all tempted and that I also was totally not hungry so it was not hard to be around a room full of people eating things I couldn't have, unlike it would be if I was wanting all of it and couldn't have it. That is such a great feeling. I know that this particular blessing eventually wears off for many, and hunger and cravings come back. I hope I may be one of the lucky ones that it continues on for!! We'll see.

I have good days and bad days as far as my eating goes. Somedays I can eat more, like my nut wants me to, and other days, I have a real hard time getting in enough food. I try to drink enough protein shakes to meet my goals, but know that I need to be eating more. I tell myself that it'll improve with time, but I know there is a possibility that I'll be one of those people who are never able to eat "normally" (for a post op, that is). If that turned out to be the case, I can live with that. I do miss food sometimes, but mostly I am just happy to be feeling and looking so much better. Well, I 'm off to read everyone else's post and see what's going on with them. Be back soon!
