what it's really all about

[Guest guest]

I have been so happy with myself and my surgery so far. I had a

couple of early days of " buyer's remorse " the third and fourth day

but that seems so long ago.

Yesterday was great. I am four months out so I am not on a

restrictive diet of any kind anymore. I ate! I had turkey, stuffing,

green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce. I didn't eat until I was

sick. I did not deprive myself of anything. I had a few bites of all

that I wanted and I was... SATISFIED! That is what this surgery is

about. Making good choices, eatiing appropriate portions, protein

first, not depriving oneself of anything but enjoying what we want

within reason. If reading all these posts from our collective

experiences yesterday doesnot reinforce the idea that this surgery

is a lifesasver- physicall, mentally, emotionally- well then I do

not know what is.

We have all done it! Made a choice to better ourselves and live

longer, healthy, fuller lives! That is what I am thankful for in

addition too the " normal " things. I say that because this experience

is not normal but so extraordinary that it is almost beyond words.

I hope everyone has an awesome day! Life is good.

I have to agree with you here. I had a spoon of everything that my mom

fixed and I was totally satisfied. I did not over eat, but I was satisfied

and that is what this is all about. I would do this again in a heartbeat

because it has given me the tools to be healthier than I have been in years.

I know that my exercise is not what it still should be, but I am beginning

to be able to work on that as well and that is a good thing.

I have never been a real exercise freak. I would rather spend two hours on

the computer than have to ride my exercise bike for 15 minutes.

Very well said ... It is doing the best with what has been giving to us

and getting right back up when we fall. I have been stumbling tremendously and I

just keep getting back to center. Eventally this will be like nothing and will

be so routine it won't seem hard anymore... I truly look forward to that day, it

is getting there slowly...
