Hi guys,
I am so excited. I was sleeved on October 29, 2010 and since then I have been stuck in the house. You know doing the liquid diet, now on puree. Our family has the horrible habit of eating out a lot. So when they eat out, I just dont go and stay home and eat my liquids or my school paste puree LOL. But today, the Harry Potter movie came out and my husband knows how excited I get about that movie. So he took a half of day at work and came home early and suprised me with dinner and a movie date. He said I will enjoy myself. I was a little hesitant about going to the movies, you know the concession stand and all, but when I got there I got a bottle Water, and a sugar free popsicle and watched the movie. I didnt even finish the water and I was ok. We went to a mongolian bbq buffett for dinner and of course I was terrified. But they had an all you can eat Soup and salad bar. I only ate the liquid from the soup and i became full off of the smell of the bbq cooking. I ordered ice water (which I didnt drink). but I actually ate out. I was soo afraid that I couldnt do it, but it felt soo good to do it. You think at the beginning of this life changing procedure that you will never be able to do the things that you use to. Mostly because our lives revolve around food soo much, but we can do it. I know that soup was full of calories and possible carbs and of course fat, but it is nice to have a little "splurge". Just a side note, when we got home i walked 3 extra blocks for my splurge LOL! But just a note for you fellow sleevers who think life as you know it is over, get out and enjoy yourselves. you will find it fun to "find" how to keep on your diet.
