HUNGRY HEAD

Ugly Bruises
i had bruises for about a month (i also had to take 2 shots per day in my tummy for blog clots) so i looked like i got beat up in a gang jump in. it does get better..great weight loss so far. as the swelling subsides, you will be able to eat/drink more..just make the best choices. sounds as if you are doing GREAT. keep it up. ps-i dreaded going back to work and i was exhausted after that first day. operations, major ones, do take alot out of you.

Enemies
It is who we are that make us who we are. So much negative in the world to be dealt with negative from people close to us. I find as I stated before, those who complain the loudest are the ones who d not adhere and can't fathom why. YOU are doing fantastic. I am beyond proud of you. You mentioning me in your blog was special to me. I am honored and I thank you. I hope I can offer a ray of hope or a positive thought on a day when you or others need it. I think your blogs/comments are awesome and they are very appreciated.

Reality Check
sometimes those who lose (faster) are a lot bigger than the others who are just starting (aka me for one).....and its now I am at when the majority people have surgery...each person is different and will lose different and be different. I compare myself daily to everyone on this forum (those with fills for example, could I be doing better if I had one??)......we be our own worst enemy. part of that diet mentality we were brought up with I guess. YOU my dear are doing super duper fantastic. GREAT JOB.

Am I Hungry or Am I Hungary?
on my pre op i found out what head hunger was and what real hunger was if someone is eating, or its lunch/dinner time, of course i wanna eat..head hunger if i am hungry, or think i am, i drink something first to see if its a sign that i am just thinking i am or not..........its usually me thinking i am hungry. but if i am hungry, i eat protein.
