I'm feeling great today

I'm 8 days post op and I woke up this morning suddenly feeling a little jump in my step. I must be pretty well healed up now.

Today is my post op appt with my doctor in Dubai. I'm looking forward to asking him some questions including why I have such achiness around the front and back of my ribcage area.

I have learned that I have to eat something right when I wake up so I don't feel so sluggish and icky in the morning. I was never like that before but it's necessary now. I just have some yogurt first thing. I found yoplait has a "baby" yogurt so I found that is nice a light and makes me feel better in the morning.

Later I will go to "breakfast" with friends. I'll just have some soup. Thank goodness I have always been a soup freak! It makes this pureed diet thing not such a hard thing to handle :thumbup:

I have a friend that has done the same surgery (6 years ago) and she has been wonderful. Thank God for her and her advice!

Take care everyone and have a nice day

That's what I'm going to have to do. Focus on the goal. I just didn't realize how much I think of food. Because it's seems so final I guess. Not the same as a diet. Actually whenever I dieted I would never call it a diet. It was my lifestyle change. I have to make this my new lifestyle change. One day it's going to stick!

Thanks for your advice!

And good luck to you too!

Hello

I am 2 days post op and have a mixture of emotions. I am excited, nervous, a tiny depressed and can't stop thinking about food.

I'm trying to think about what I am going to center my life around besides food. I never realized my life was centered around it until now. Well, maybe I did whenever I tried to loose weight but I would quickly "un"realize it whenever i stopped. I have a family that keeps me busy but food is all around. When meeting with friends, we eat, when going out on a date with my husband, it's food, etc. etc.

I am struggling with what I am to do with myself next. I want to call friends to talk but I don't want to burden them. My husband is naturally thin so he doesn't really understand although he does try bless his heart.

At the same time I don't want to become obsessed with the weight lose. I just want to sit back and let it happen and have other things on my mind beside my next cup-of-soup
