QOTD: 7/28 What's one thing you miss or THINK you will miss after surgery?

What's one thing you miss or THINK you will miss after surgery?

Or, what's one thing you THOUGHT you'd miss, but don't?

Steamers (Clams)

Why wouldn't you be able to have steamers?  I would think they would be a great source of protien.

I had them the other day, and thought to myself that the bodies are okay, but I would probably not be able to get the necks down.  What does anyone else think?

I thought I would miss alcohol more.  But now when we go out I just ge****er or coffee... And I have more money in my pocket to prove it!!!!

I think I will miss going out the door without  a thought for what I will eat (when, where or what).  I've never done that often but sometimes we have a bunch of errands to run or a  favor to do and so we just go and eat whatever-whenever.  It is easy.  No more of that though.  I am resolved and dedicated to the fact that my meals are now planned and balanced.  No more winging it. 

Dunkin donuts----donuts.  You know they say America runs on Dunkins?  No, Michelle does not run well on Dunkin's.  I gave up dunkins and lost 7lbs without any other diet modification.  sigh.  I do love a maple frosted....or a jelly stick....or oh heck, that is the problem.  I have not met a donut I don't like!

But, my new mantra is going to be:  Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.  I will post it on my mirror, on my fridge door, on my steering wheel!

I too think I will miss our dunkin donut run (I prefer boston cream myself.)  And I really thought I would miss Coke, but I haven't so far.  I swear, I drank a twelve pack the week before my surgery, since I knew I'd never be able to have it again.

At least with the donuts, if I really wanted a small bite, I could have one, but soda is completely off limits.

I will keep repeating my positive self talk.  And I have to admit that after a week of eating very little, I have WAY more energy than I ever had before!  I don't feel lethargic like I used to.  Obviously, my body needs a lot less fuel than I was giving it on a daily basis.
