My little revelations :)

OK, so I was banded Oct. 1, and after getting over the initial surgery ouchies, I am feeling pretty darn good! I am sticking to my after surgery diet and I've lost 10lbs(4 I gained during surgery and 6 of my own) and although I had hoped to be one of the speed demon losers...I am happy. So my revelations. I went to Sam' club with my hubbie and as I walked down the aisles I had his overwhelming feeling that I needed to eat and buy food, I thought I was going to hyperventilate seriously. I thought "OMG, how can I be hungry, it's too soon!" So I went to the bathroom, seperating myself and I realized, I wasn't hungry at all. I waited, and truly was grateful to myself for taking the time to think about it and listen to my body...it wasn't hungry, my mind was. Revelation #1, huge for me. The next came Saturday night when my belly was grumbling, growling, making noise my kids heard across the room. I would've normally jumped up and got a snack, but again I just listened and asked myself if I was truly hungry...I wasn't. I grabbed a glass of Water and sat sipping in my newfound glory...even if no one else knew. Revelation #2. Great feeling, just thought I'd share.

Hi Fluffy- That is awesome. Finding the "real" reason we got to this place is the biggest battle and the one that will payoff the biggest i'm sure!

Best of Luck

Not long after my surgery I had something very similar happen......only mine came in the form of, "oh no - I can't eat very much!" Which surprised both my husband and I since that was exactly why I had the surgery! It's just funny how our minds can REALLY play tricks with you!
