You are absolutely correct Ginna. I didn't go through all this to cheat, I appreciate your being frank with me. I woke up today determined to do better...and so far so good. I think I'll go back and read you post over and over until I feel strong enough. Also, I'm going to do as another person reccomended and go to support group. I think being around others who have gone through or are going through the same experience that may be I'll find the process easier. Thanks again Ginna. KA
L.I.F.M.2011-thank you for you words, I totally appreciate your taking the time to reply. I truly feel like you've read my mind in so many instances. Keep in touch. KA
Thank you for your reply. I definetly think the "why" is worth looking in to. Sugar has always been my weakness. Now that I've been thinking about it, it's kind of like I'm intentionally sabotaging myself. Sounds like I've got some work to do...thanks again. KA
I'm 12 days post op and cant help but wonder why I don't feel more restricted. I've followed the purée foods prescribed, but I've pretty much "cheated" everyday. From sugar-free fudge pops, frozen cherries and even today I had a frosting free cupcake. I guess I just assumed poor food choices would make me ill or vomit or be running to the bathroom, but really there has been no effect at all. Any ideas?
