It has been 11 days since my surgery... and I have had a thousand thoughts. I can definitely say I am in a bit of mourning for my old eating habits. I know that is strange to say with my WHOLE new life ahead, but it's true. And I want above all else for this blog to be honest. Every time I see a commercial with fast food, an ad in the paper, I think about my old eating habits. I just wish I could eat a double cheeseburger and fries. Now granted, I am NOT hungry... at least my body isn't...but, my head-- that's a different story. I'm sure that other people who have eating disorders can understand. It is my addiction to food.
I just keep reminding myself that I am going to feel so much better in just a few more pounds. This VSG is going to be the tool I need to make the life change I HAVE to make. There are reasons I went to this drastic measure. #1 I want to feel better. #2 I want to be able to enjoy life with my family. I don't want to always worry that I can't keep up or that I'll be the person that holds them back. #3 I want a change! #4 I want to be able to go into ANY department store and buy a shirt right off the rack!!
There are a million other reasons, but those are just a few.
Another reason for this blog, as I believe I've mentioned, I don't want to drive people crazy with my ramblings about weight loss. I can tell already that my neice, Christy, does not want to hear it... :)
Today, I am going to buy a digital scale and a blender (for the pureed stage that starts next Friday).
Now, about my weight loss... I started before surgery at 258 pounds, on March 18th I was 241... and today, March 29th I am 230! That's 28 pounds from my start weight! I'm glad for that.
