It's now been two months since I had my surgery. It's been a journey so far. I've had re learn how to eat and drink. It does feel strange to never have hunger pains and to feel full after only a few bites. I'm still amazed at how little I eat. While food tastes good I really only have a few bites and am done. I have discovered that I much prefer to have a protein shake or nectar protein drink. I feel better with those than when I eat something. I think it's because of the high protein content.
I've had a few bites of cheesecake and a little chocolate but not much. I like the sugar free products better. I really enjoy weight watchers snack size fudge bars and ice cream cones. Those are the perfect size. I also like weight watchers candies if I need a bite of chocolate. although wanting a piece of chocolate and ice cream is more my taste buds and my head. My stomach could care less what it gets. I really do never feel hungry. I can tell when I've gone to long as my stomach will start to cramp because it's empty.
Today I had a chicken wing and yes it was deep fried. Don't ask me why I had it. It tasted good but boy did it sit like a rock in my stomach for about an hour. It was my first fried food and I will be steering clear of that for a while.
I've been very careful about getting enough water in. Since I live in the desert and we have started having daily temps of 110 I really push to 2.5 liters in a day. I carry around a 750ml water bottle that I sip all day. I was working outside on Tuesday in the heat and I noticed quickly that I needed to keep drinking to stay hydrated. You don't realize how hard it is to get enough water in when you can only drink so much at a time.
Anyway as of Monday June 10, 2013 I had lost a total of 54 lbs. I feel thinner and my clothes are baggy. You can really see it in my face.
