I'm 10 days post op and have been doing shredded Proteins and cooked veggies for a few days now. I plan to enjoy a spoonful or two of some holiday favorites, but mostly I'll do turkey and veggies. I'm not going to say that I will never eat anything I enjoy again, but I see it much differently now.
I went to lunch after church with my family and a couple of friends and after the meal my daughters and my husband ordered a gigantic piece of cheesecake. I sincerely had no desire to eat it because the grilled fish I had completely satisfied me. I skipped the bread too…which honestly was harder than skipping the cheesecake. In the future, I may indulge in a bite or two of a favorite dessert….perhaps on a holiday, but I don't plan on getting out of control. I'm trying to get rid of type 2 diabetes, which means I can only have certain things in moderation for the rest of my life…and I'm okay with that. My desire is to have a healthy balance.
