Two Months out today!!!

Mar 20, 2009

And I feel great! I've had very few instances of throwing up, and so far have not dumped. I'm sticking pretty close to the guidelines they set out of what to eat and what not to eat. In retrospect, I was very annoyed with the 6 month pre-op diet and all the education I had to go through, but now post-op I'm thankful I had to do it all. It gave me all the information and tools I needed to help make this surgery as successful as possible with as few problems as possible. I have a day every now and then when my pouch feels grumpy, but for the most part, I feel wonderful!

My relationship with food has changed almost a full 180 degrees. I don't think about it much, and I have to make sure I pay attention to the clock to eat when I'm supposed to. Sometimes I just can't find anything that sounds remotely good to eat, so I have a protien shake of some kind. I really have no interest in food at all. I do find that I get the head hunger when they bring food in at the office for a potluck or something and everyone is eating. Then I sort of wish I could eat with them - but at the same time, I'm glad I can't eat all that stuff!

When people ask me if I'm glad I did this - absolutely! Would I do it again - without a doubt! I feel myself getting so much healthier, and fitting into clothes that I haven't been able to wear for years (luckily, most of it is still in style!!).

It's also been two months that my mom has been gone. It's hard to believe, and there is part of my head that still won't accept it..that it's got to be a bad dream or something. I really miss her.
