Learning to love life again

HI EVERYONE, TO START I'M 39 YRS OLD MY HIGHEST WEIGHT WAS 251, I WAS BANDED IN 2007 MY PRE-SURGICAL WEIGHT WAS 238. MY LOWEST WITH THE BAND WAS 209, THE BAND CAUSED SO MANY PROBLEMS FOR ME. FAST FORWARD I HAD A HITAL HERNIA REPAIR, BAND REMOVAL AND THE SLEEVE. I WAS 232 PRE-OP AND CURRENTLY I'M TWO WEEKS POST OP AND 220 AS OF FRIDAY. I CANNOT WAIT TO JOIN LIFE AGAIN I'M A NURSE SO WORK HAS BECOME THE DEFINITION OF WHO I AM BECAUSE OTHER THAN WIFE AND MOM I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL I HAD GOING FOR ME. MY LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORK HAS BECOME SO SEDITARY. THE TV HAS BECOME MY FRIEND, AFTER MY MOM/WIFE STUFF IS DONE. I CANNOT WAIT TO JOIN LIFE SINCE MY SURGERY. HAVE MY OWN WEEKEND ANDVENTURE INSTEAD OF LIVING THROUGH MY FRIENDS ADVENTURES. I FEEL LIKE I'M RAMBLING BUT IT IS JUST HOW I FEEL. I WANT TO LEARN TO RUN SO I HOPE TO START WITH MY TREADMILL AND EVENTUALLY TAKE MY FLUFFY CARCASS OUTSIDE TO FACE THE WORLD. I HAVE THE BEST FAMILY IN THE WORLD SO VERY SUPPORTIVE I JUST HOPE WE CAN LEARN TO DO OTHER THINGS OUTSIDE THE HOUSE SO WE CAN BECOME MORE A PART OF LIFE AND LESS APART OF THE SEDITARY WORLD WE HAVE CREATED FOR OURSELVES.

I'M REALLY HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THINGS TO EAT. I'M 23 DAYS POST OP I'M ON MUSHIES SOFT VEGS, CAN FRUIT, SWEET POTATOES, ETC... I'M SOOOOO OVER THE PROTEIN SHAKES THEY MAKE ME NAUSEATED, AND ALTHOUGH I'M OVERWEIGHT I'M A VERY PICKY EATER. NO COTTAGE CHEEESE, NOT A MILK DRINKER, NO STRING CHEESE BUT LOVE CHEDDAR CHEESE. TRYING VERY HARD NOT TO SLIP BACK TO OLD HABITS BUT THEY ARE REARING THEIR UGLY LITTLE HEADS THE ONLY GOOD THING IS I'M LIMITED IN HOW MUCH CAN BE CONSUMED. TONITE COULD NOT THINK OF ANYTHING TASTY TO EAT SO JUST SKIPPED DINNER WHICH WOULD BE FINE IF I HAD HAD A GOOD BRKFST, AND LUNCH.   BRKFST; 34 OZ OF WATER/1 CRYSTAL LITE LUNCH; 1/3 CUP RED BEANS NO RICE SNACK; MUSCLE MILK LITE SNACK; 3 MARSHMALLOWS (I KNOW ) 16.9 OZ WATER VIAMINS/REG MEDS OH! TBS OF PEANUT BUTTER ANY SUGGESTIONS I RETURN TO WORK MONDAY AND NEED HELP PACKING A LUNCH AND HELP FINDING THINGS TO EAT:svengo:
