8 days post op

I have lost 18 lbs in the past 23 days and feel amazing still! I am really liking this new feeling! I am rocking it out with my band not even FILLED yet! I know I will probably get hit like a mac truck with the nasty hunger monster soon, but am enjoying my weight loss today! 286 lbs actually was on MY SCALE this morning! AMAZING!!! I haven't weighed that (less) since who knows when! I was always in the 300's or not budging below 290 when I was busy starving myself! Unlike now, I'm not even hungry. I am moving TO MUSHIES tomorrow! YEA!!! I'm going to have an egg white and green bean omelet for breakfast! Yep, you heard me or read that right, EGG WHITES AND GREEN BEAN OMELET! I have wanted BOTH of those things for about a week now, so I figured what the hell, I'm gonna have them together for the first time ever! I'm TOTALLY up for trying new and different ways of eating....starting tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.

I may be crazy, it might totally suck, but if it does, I'll throw it away and make myself a protein shake instead. I'm NOT CARING about wasting food anymore...those days are OVER! If I don't like it, or I'm full, it's going in the trash....no questions or comments or GUILT will be allowed! I'm gonna try new things, be a new person, and throwing out that old bad habit of not wanting to throw food away IS starting my first day of mushies....

Food, I need you in MODERATION ONLY!!! You are NOT my best friend, you do NOT make me FEEL BETTER, and you ARE NOT IN CONTROL of my life anymore...sorry! You have been replaced with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR MYSELF and my new best friend, the BAND...betta recognize....or in this case REALIZE!!!
