It’s been exactly one month since my surgery and I’m so excited to say I’m down 23 pounds!!!!! This was the best thing I’ve ever decided to do. It’s definitely a life change and there are tons of realizations in only one month. The biggest realization is that I was a “situational” eater. With the snow storms we have I realized I ate a lot when I wasn’t hungry. I would have bought pizza, McDonalds etc all in the name of a snow storm. I know I’m an emotional eater too. Rough day, go eat out. Successful day, go eat out.
I don’t think there is a lot of food I miss and that may be just because I’m seriously not hungry. I haven’t really missed chocolate like I thought I would. I do miss burger night at the Wick. But I think that is just schedule of it. We went every Wednesday and I miss that regularity in my schedule. The fun part is I could probably go now and get a burger without the bun and eat a few bites of it.
Last night I had Chicken tenders and they were great! They set well in my lil pouchy and it was nice to have actual solid food to eat. The support I’ve gotten from my friends and family is amazing! I definitely couldn’t have done it without them. All the cards and well wishes is just so great and I’m so touched by the positive out pouring of caring. I know this has a negative stigma, but I haven’t heard any of it. That has been the best bonus ever!
Here’s to the next month and hopefully another 23 pounds gone!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
