It's about me....

Jan 28, 2010

I am still surprised how not hungry I am.  I knew surgery changed things but I don't feel like the same mindless eating machine I once did.  Surgery has taught me how much I did not pay attention to myself.  Not just the eating, but exercise and taking care of myself.  I just never noticed how much I had put myself on the back burner.  But not now!

I had my surgeon check up last week and everyone said I was doing great.  I was down 53 pounds from my high weight.  I'm really hoping to lose this next 27 pretty quickly. 

I've still been going to the Y three or four days a week.  It's really helped that many of the people from church have joined as well.  So now when I go there is lots of support and people around me.  I had heard from people who had surgery that others were not necessarily supportive.  I'm sure behind my back people have said things, but everyone is so encouraging I can hardly believe it. 

I've been doing great getting my meals put together, weighing all of my food.  Trying to establish these good habits now instead of later.  I have gotten sick twice at dinner time.  I think if I don't go to the bathroom before dinner it is just to hard on my new pouch.  Strange but since I thought that everything has gone down just fine.
