I dont want to feel guilty for not posting but it's hard. Same ol stupid story: wish i would post daily so I could record my struggles or accomplishments but nooooo life happens and time goes by.
Last Wednesday I had my appointment and got a fill. It was an interesting appointment. The doctor asked me if I would be willing to talk to a couple in the next room. He felt that my experience would be helpful. I told him that i have struggled and am trying to learn from my mistakes but if I wanted the easy way I shouldve gotten the bypass. I told him that I am still able to eat alot of food and the only time I have an issue is when I eat too fast or something too dry (only happened a few times). I was given another fill and told to do 2 days clear, 2 days creamy liquids and then soft for 2 days. I have stuck to that (basically) lol
My fear is the coming holiday. Food is in abundance and I am scared. I pray this fill will help control my behavior.
The weather is getting colder too and this makes me want to bake. Tonight I experimented and made some Nutter Butter Balls. I was at the Dollor store and they had a bag of nutter butter crumbs so I got the idea. I gave my son and his friend one and will send the few more that I made with my husband to work. Ok, i had one :)
No type of surgery is easy, don't let what anyone tells you about gastric bypass make you believe otherwise. It's a struggle for all of us.
ReplyDeleteHope your fill gives you some much-needed restriction, but we all know it can't alter our behavior. :)
