1 month post op mood

[Happy Go Lucky 77]

Hello everyone, just checking in. So, tomorrow I will be 1 month post op and down about 30lbs from my surgery weight.

Here is what I have noticed:

1. Its hard to not eat and drink when you have had tha t habit for all of your life.

2.Its bittersweet when you realize you can no longer can down the foods that you used to eat into your bottomless pit. Literally after 2-3 bites you are full.

3. I am not motivated to exercise and am in search of some fun ways to get real exercise in. When I don't get on my treadmill I powerwalk through whatever store I want to visit that day with my son in his stroller or cart. Takes 45-1hr. Stopping and going. It is better than nothing.

4. I crave coffee and spicy foods, don' care for sweets too much now....and I used to have a horrible sweet tooth. Feels weird and I don't really care for coffee either. But I put salsa on almost everything.

5. sleeping on my stomach is not an issue,it was uncomforable at first but pillows helped and then I got comfy on my own.

6. I do have some pains sometimes that feels like something is pulling so,I am going to tell my Dr at my appt on Thursday.

7. Every time a commercial comes on or that I am interrupted I take a sip of Water and that is my secret to getting my fluids.

8. Pintreset is a great tool for healthy recipes and meal hacks

That is all for now! It' been an interesting journey so far and I keep telling my that "if nothing changes, then nothing changes" meaning if you do nothing you get nothing in return. I got this surgery to save my life and I want to take full advantage of it. 😉
