I Can Eat! But I Can't Stop!

Well I'm three months post op now and it's really the first time I've been able to eat with out vomiting. If you don't know already I had a bezoar (blockage) thats why I havnt been able to eat and it was taken out last week. Ever since I have been so happy I can eat and keep it down I havnt cared what I was eating. It doesn't help it's my period week either. I'm hoping after my monthly visitor my hunger will not be as bad and I will care more about what I'm eating.

A lot of that might be head hunger too. Be sure you think about why you are wanting to eat because it might be boredom, stress, etc.. emotional rather than real hunger.

I know it can't be real hunger. Its just been 3 months since I've been able to eat so I'm just thrilled I'm able to do it. Im not really eating to bad just lots of carbs I eat watermelon like all day! It's my new addiction. One good thing is I havnt felt this normal since sugery I have my energy back I don't need naps I dont feel like I'm going to pass out at work. I think I'm going to enjoy the rest of my journey even though the first 3 months were hell.

I understand. I had a kidney stone complication and was hospitalized two weeks after my surgery and had another surgery on my kidney. It took me a minute to bounce back from that but I did and you can too! I am down 82 pounds and only 18 from goal!

Well, although we all know to go for Protein first, the good news is that no one has ever gained all their weight back from eating watermelon
