Food On The Brain!

[Branmuffin 190]

Ok so I'm in my third week and getting along with purée food just fine. I'm just tired of thinking about food! I drink a premier shake once a day and then get a 44oz Water at sonic that I drink all day and im good to get in a 1/4c of anything purée. I'm so full from the liquid. I find that I'm thinking all day of when to stop drinking so that I can try to consume something later in the day. I'd lost 20lbs at my 2 week post op appt so I feel good about the loss but feel like I'm consumed with trying to come up with stuff to eat that wont aggravate my sleeve. I think of food now more than before. I'm hoping its just my nervous energy trying to get used to portions and Protein food choices.

Bran muffin, I am sure this will tame down in a few more weeks. I remember feeling that way at first with my band, and thinking oh, no, I hope I'm not forming an alternate obsession! In the beginning, there is much more to be aware of as you are making changes, so you may constantly be thinking in one way or another, about food. After awhile it will begin to become habit and lifestyle, and the constant planning will ease up and you will just "be." Hang in there, it gets WAY better!
