First Christmas



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 9/10. Am down 60 pounds. I am feeling pretty good except a little weak from anemia. How did everyone do for Christmas? Fortunately we went to friends' so I didn't have to cook. Ate a tiny amount. No dessert. So far so good. Merry Christmas, everyone!

I was sleeved on 12/3/14 and dinner was a CRUEL event, as I LOVE the smell of roasting poultry! Can't get it out of my head! Or is it my nose?! Since it is just my husband and myself, I made him a Cornish game hen, vertically roasted, and tiny new potatoes roasted in olive oil with S and P - his request since I really can't partake yet. However, I did take a thigh of the bird and pureed it-oh yum! Just the taste of the lemon pepper seasoning in the puree was enough to satisfy my need for that bird! No potatoes, no room. So sad, but it was good to have that little taste, and I am sated for now!

I just got sleeved on the 11th, and it was a good day. I cooked, ham, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and rolls. Basically all my favorites, and cheesecake for dessert. The family loved it, and I drank my Protein Shake. I haven't been bothered by all the delicious food around me probably since I can't eat solids yet anyway. Thankful for the peace in my head despite the food around me. And thankful for getting to spend time with my family. I hope everyone had a great day!

If you are satiated and have fuel, why are you sad? THAT is your head hunger speaking. No reason to be sad you can't stuff yourself. You only really taste the first few bites then it's just eating.

Not sad to stuff myself, but sad there wasn't room for a tiny potato! Happy not to stuff, but I think the potato might have missed me!

I guess I just don't "get" being sad over not having room for a potato. Potatoes will always be there if you ever do have room (which you will a year out).

I like to live a "lighter" life, after all, it is what you make of it! This little potato happened to be less than an inch across, just a newbie potato, don't ya know! I hope you have a wonderful New Year!
