Hummus. OMG, loving it.

[Cindy Martin 77]

I can't believe how much my taste buds have changed since surgery. It wasn't all at once, but they are still changing. I discovered Hummus and love it sooooo much. I eat Hummus and 2 Melba toast for a meal and feel like I have had such a treat. So funny to me how different I feel about food. I call my pouch " peanut", pretty weird I know. I consider Peanut a different entity now. I think of feeding Peanut to supply my body with fuel. I no longer had the same relationship with food. I no longer consider food as 1. my friend 2. my comforter 3. my anti-anxiety drug 4. my social drug.......the list can go on and on. My head is no longer looking down, it's looking up. I'm wonder what can I do now to be more active, and to live.

Just sharing some of my thoughts this morning. Love you guys for such support and encouragement.

That is wonderful. I'm so happy to hear the positive. I'm having surgery tomorrow and maybe I'll have to name my new stomach too. That's a wonderful idea.

Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm so excited for you. Please keep us posted. I hope you will be as happy as I am with my sleeve "peanut".

The name of my new stomach is "Dolores". I had my sleeve done in Lima, Peru and so dolores means "pains" haha. I was on medication when I named it, but at the time it really fit! haha

I like hummus too. It's pretty calorie dense and light in Protein, so I only have it as a treat food. Like many others, I think of my sleeve as Sleevie Wonder. It's done wonders for me and I'm still very happy two years out.
