I went back to working as usual this last monday. I cleaned 7 houses this week. I'm beat, but mostly because I have come down with a cold. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and sniffles and I had to tackle a 5 bedroom 4 bath house today too. Boy was I glad when I got that done. I ran some errands and got some Nyquil. I will probably fall face first in about 30 minutes. Anyways,
I have to admit that I am a bit afraid of food. I guess I am not feeling like I have control yet. Dont get me wrong, I have not overdone any eating (since being banded) but I still feel like that could happen. I dont think I am eating very much now and am doing fine. No drastic weight loss yet but maybe its cause im not eating enough. I am lazy though about writing my food intake down..........in fact i havent at all. I guess I should really do that.
I have to say also that I do not have any problem eating anything ive tried, I can even gulp! Yes, I gulp! My drink that it. I think also that there was only one time when I was eating some corn tortillas toasted a bit with butter spray that I felt like I was topping off and couldnt eat any more.
I am still really just getting used to eating less. I stop eating way before I want to and it is really hard but I know I need to get used to eating less. I usually have my protein shake for breakfast which gives me most of if not all my protein that i need for the day so I am not worried about that.
I started walking a couple of nights ago. Of course I didnt go tonight cause im not feeling good but I am really happy to be back to getting some excercise in.
I'm staring to feel like im kinda scatter brained so I better go. I hope I made sense.
I think your fears are normal. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteyour fears are very normal and this is a tough time mainly because you CAN infact eat most things! You'll get there! You'll start having signs and sometimes even after the first fill it will be a learning process! But you are doing great!
ReplyDeleteBandster hell, that's all. You're just getting hungrier b/c you're healing. :)
ReplyDeleteI would start writing down what you eat if you can find the motivation - that's really been key for me losing the amount I have so far!
I imagine I will have the same fears......congrats on doing so well Tanya! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteBandster Hell, you haz it. Sorry! It will pass.
ReplyDeleteHope your cold goes away quickly.
