Magic Pills

Mar 01, 2011

Today, I am SEVEN  years postop and I weigh the same as I did at nine months postop!  What??? Did this surgery really work? Can it work?  Pinch me!  Am I perfect?  No. Do I continue to do EVERYTHING I was taught?  No.  Do I try to do most things some of the time?  Yes.  But I do take my vitamins.  Didn't we all want a magic pill to make our fat go away?  Well?  Didn't we?  What do you think our vitamins are?  Take them, stupid!  That's what I tell myself every day.  I at least have a fighting chance if I am healthy.  I know of other postops who quit taking the magic pills.  It DOES catch up with us.  The body KNOWS when it has been cheated. 

Other character defects of mine I discovered that hit my recovery at every turn were:
I was a compulsive food addict.  So I saw an eating disorder shrink starting at 4 months postop.
I cross addicted to alcohol at 18 months post op and I joined AA and have 4+ years sobriety today.
I still eat lean protein at every meal and eat it first.
I try to eat dense foods and avoid soft foods to feel full.  Soft foods=weight gain
Don't drink at meal time

But most important.....take the damn MAGIC PILLS!
