I feel like Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka. I feel like I am blowing up.
As I was cooking my dinner tonight (broiled fish), I noticed a carton of fresh raspberries on the counter. Without thinking, I just began popping them in, one by one. They went down so well, I didn't even realize what I was doing. I honestly completely forgot that I had 85% of my stomach removed 6 weeks ago! I had about 8 one right after another, before I realized what was going on! I stopped, still feeling fine, and ate my fish because I needed my Protein and didn't think a dozen berries would make a difference. Um, WRONG. I got about halfway through my 2 oz piece of fish which I never have problems with, and it feels like there are 4 bricks sitting in my stomach, pressing on all of my organs. I havent been this uncomfortable since week 2 of surgery. It hurts to breathe right now.
This is just one of those little stories about how much things change after surgery. I used to be able to eat handfuls of berries before or after eating bowls of Pasta or multiple slices of pizza or other heavy things, and I wouldnt feel slightly full from all of that. Wow.

1. Im sorry Im just getting back to you! Im new and I didnt realize anyone had responded! 2. Thanks so much for all of the great advice! youre right, I need to relax on the exercise. I definitely dont want to hurt myself long term! Thanks again!
