Post-op Day 20 (6/10)-Day 22 (6/12)

Well, we made it to Minneapolis....absolutely no problems with my band and flying. Normally in the past, eating was always a big part of our vacations. So, it's been difficult trying to figure out what I can eat. I brought everything I need to make my protein shakes and I've been having one everyday. Last night we went to Brit Pub and my husband and I ordered a 3 piece fish and chips and a side of mashed potatoes. I had one piece of cod (batter removed) and some mashed potatoes. I caught myself starting to eat too fast, and had to keep remind myself to slow down. Old habits are hard to break.

This process is really harder mentally than physically. How do you change 30 plus years of eating habits over night? One day at a time...one vacation at a time. Everyday is a learning experience.
