Seems I have good and bad days and sometimes the weirdest thing is that those sometimes happen to be the same day. Yesterday was one of those days. I think about 5 different people that didn't know about the surgery asked if I was losing weight. That felt good because being reocgnized for the hard work that goes into it really helps in this journey. When I got dressed yesterday morning my clothes were way too loose and me thinks I'm going to have to go shopping for a couple of pairs of pants! The bad, I wanted to eat, eat, eat! I wasn't hungry mind you, but I just wanted to eat everything, and i think it stemmed from being in the office at lunch time and hearing everyone talk about what to get for lunch and then of course all the smells that come along with lunch time. I have come up with a solution about that one that I think will help, rather than sit there and drink my shake, I am going to go out at lunch and take a nice long walk even if its just in circles lol. I'll get some exercise in and not have to deal with all the food.

Thursday I see my Doc for my first post op follow up and will advance to mushies, at least then I'll have a little more variety in my diet! But I am down 24lbs since the pre op diet and I am feeling great over all and couldn't be happier.

I agree office temptations are hard...especially these folks, Pasta, ribs, fried chicken you name it! But i look at it like I have to do it. There is no room for failure, especially not this early out. I don't think the walks are a bad idea. And ppl commenting is definitely great motivation.

Keep up the great work!

Walks are a perfect idea! If it's raining or cold out just buy ear plugs and nod and smile at random moments, odds are they'll never notice

I love to read so I tend to keep the latest book I'm reading in my purse. You are stronger than the head hunger. Go Raine Go!!!!!

Took that walk today at 11:45 and didn't come back til around 1:00 . Walked a little, had my shake and my kindle with me. Felt much better when I got back to the office. Didn't think about the food except when I went for the walk because of why i was doing it lol. Other than that it really helped.
