Re-learning my relationship with food
Sep 24, 2011
I have new guts. But I have old tastebuds. Despite the warning that my tastes may change after surgery, I have the same love for the same (evil) comfort foods. I quickly tired of protein shakes, but no other real changes. Now I'm approved for "real" foods with the order to go slowly. I've had little difficulties - except for myself. My biggest challenge is my portion control. I'm not great at keeping the drinks to 1/2 hour before and after, but I'm really bad about trying that one more bite - and feeling like I would really like to lose the whole meal. I don't seem able to lose it, though - I blame that weirdness on surgery, too. Now the portion that I eat is still smaller than it was. I've lost some weight - but not as much as i want. I guess I need to go back to basics...
