Day 4 Post-Op, and maybe a little venting.

Day four,and I'm feeling great. Maybe a little too great? I actually feel like eating today. I've done pretty well sticking to my liquid diet (only a total of one week--so 3 more days) but today I felt the insane desire to chew. I wanted to chew something. I ate some soup, and my roomate had some yummy french bread, so i grabbed a piece and began to chew. I felt guilty and spit out every bite i took. I was worried for how it would feel later, but no issues. I could feel it go passed my band. So my swelling must be going down. This is just a road block. I need to behave from now on. No more bread. If i'm going to be serious about making the surgery work (and of course it will, and I will) i need to get my act together. I don't feel hungry, it must be all this "head hunger" thing going around. I've been having to force myself to eat, because even the thought of food made me feel nauseated. Now it doesnt make me feel nauseated and it's like i miss it. I'm not hungry, just bored. I CAN DO THIS! How is everyone else dealing with it?

I totally understand how you feel. I think it's mostly your thoughts that's making you want to eat even though you're not hungry. Keep up the self-discipline and patience, we really need them when we want to lose and keep off unwanted weight. Good luck!:)

You CAN do it! Take it one day at a time or one hour at a time if you have to. The more you think about what you are being denied...the more you want it. (At least that is how I work!) Think about what you are being given or from a positive perspective like that.

I know you can do it!
