    Afrodite82 reacted to desertmom for a blog entry, New normal   
    10 days ago,while on holiday no less,I stopped smoking.It has been a challenge but I am not going to smoke again.I decided not to stress too much about my eating as I have visitors that eats nothing but junk and carbs.They do not eat any of the food we usually eat.For some reason this made me super self concious and I started cooking rubbish and eating it too.
     
    Yesterday I weighed and was up 5 pounds already.This made me realize a couple of things.This is out life and my house.If they dont like the food we usually eat,let them either cook for themselves or go get takeouts.My kids have alos gained weight already and my little 12 year old is a gymnast and competition time is coming up.She cannot afford to gain weight now.
     
    So I started cooking healthy foods again and I am down 2 pounds already.Avoiding the carbs just a little and sugar completely.Sugar is not my friend..lol.
     
    The health issues are still there but as soon as the visitors are gone I will see the phycisian again.My hands and feet are a little better but I still have a lot of pain.The bruising comes and goes and the back and neck ache seems to be under control.
     
    Life is good.I have decided to tackle issues as they come up and not regret anything about having the sleeve.I LIKE BEING THINNER THAN EVERYONE ELSE.it makes me feel great and I will keep it this way.No matter what.
     
    We stayed at a stunning resort last week.There were these "toys" (a trampoline a bananna slide ect ect) in the sea.Usually I couldnt get on these things and would never even attempt to.But with a little ecouragement from the kids I got onto each and everyone of those things and we had a ball of a time.This again made me realize how different life is now.
     
    Of course the fact that I fit into a size 10 (UK) freaked me out completely..lol.The size 36B bra is totally crazy as well.
     
    So,this is me for now.Enjoying life,trying to find the balance with the food and just getting use to the new normal I now live.

    Afrodite82 reacted to Joy Graz for a blog entry, Day 3 Post Op   
    If you asked me this morning I would say there was no way I could handle this. However, I feel so much better this evening! Yay me!! I showered, which I think was the best part of the day's progress!! LOL. The gas is slowly but surely getting better. I ate some protein, definitely need to get much more in tomorrow. I kept my water up pretty well, got in about 45 ounces, I know I need to get more in but it's only been 3 days. Tomorrow I plan on trying some decaf tea. Then Sunday I plan on trying some skim milk. I figure as long as I give myself a goal a day I can get through this. I go to the Dr on the 19th and that is when I can start soft foods again, that should be a whole new world but until then I plan on a new liquid a day to mix it all up a bit I hope this is what I should be doing. I walked around alot today and that definitely helped! The fact that it was warmer out today was nice. I hope to sleep well tonight with all the fresh air and walking I did today. I can't believe how much I am looking forward to drinking tea tomorrow! LOL. The little things in life, as they say! I hope everyone is well tonight!
