To blog...or not to blog...

Feb 06, 2011

Good morning world.  Today I was 131.4 lbs and feeling pretty good.  Yesterday was the Superbowl and we weren't invited anywhere so my love and I stayed up to watch the game at home.  We made some chicken quesedillas, and had some store bought macaroni salad and cole slaw.  I don't eat those foods any more, but I did have a couple of bites of the chicken quesedilla.  Two bites was enough since it hit my sleeve hard.  Interestingly, I haven't been able to sip wine since the surgery, it feels like it gets stuck in the back of my throat. But last night he opened a Merlot and I probably sipped 2 oz over 2 hours.  It was more about the experience and being able to do it, than trying to catch a 'buzz'.

Funny how food isn't my main priority now around events.  In the past, "Food was Love" in my house.  I cooked and cooked and everyone came over and ate.  Now my love does most of the cooking because he's hungry and I'm not.  Watching him eat isn't a big deal. Sometimes I just want to taste what he's got on his plate, nothing more.

I'm almost at my goal of 120.  Some of my friends have said that is too skinny.  My Dr. and Surgeon both said that was an ideal weight for me at my height (5'2").  I'm going to be happy in the 120's whether I get specifically to 120 or somewhere near.   

I wrestle each morning with the thoughts, do I want to blog today or not. I started blogging to document my journey.  I wanted to remember what I went through and maybe help others who are contemplating this surgery.  I hope my thoughts, struggles and writings have helped.  I know it's helped me to see how far along I've come and it will be a reminder to never get back to where I was.

I'm nearing 5 months post-op.  It seems like just yesterday.  I have been blessed by this surgery. I hope the same for you.

Make it a great day! :)
