Healing well... Having less of the doubts about this being the right decision. .... I have been soooooooo busy that I don't even have time to think about food at this point. Thanksgiving was ok .. I wanted to eat but setteled for 2 bites of masshed potatoes and 2 tsp of Ice cream....o and I drank the juice off the collard greens.....so it was hard but more mentally than anything else....I have had a couple of stressfull situations latley which I normally would have run to McDonalds and gotten a burger but I have to learn to do this a different way now..... I am learning to ignore the grumbly tummy and just move on or have some water .... I know this liquid won't be forever and I look forward to the filet mignon ....I am thinking of doing a big Christmas at my house ... ..... I think I will be alright!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last weight was a few days ago before Thanksgiving and I was 256.2 which is down 13.6 lbs....

Ok so today is post op day 4 or 5 depending on if you count the day of surgery. I have to say that I thank my dad for instilling a love of grits in me.... They may have saved me tonight...I have been so hungry and needing something (maybe a mental thing) I ate a bowl of grits which are on my approved "full liquid" diet ... and they were amazing!!!! Can I just tell you that I never thought I would be in a position to write a whole partagraph on grits, but I guess the band changes us in many ways....
 
On another note I had a dream about hotdogs and nachos at the movie theater .... wow ... I must be a real adict if I am dreaming about food!!! Its like a whole new me....Lets hope tomorrow is even better thank today !!!
