Funny thought

I keep cracking myself up and thought I would share. I am one month out and I am amazed at how quick my sense of normal has changed. After surgery, the tiny portions and bites seemed so abnormal to me. It really added to the tricks that our mind plays on us. I wanted more in my head, but of course my body was satisfied. This past week, my hubby and I were eating together. He took a large bite of food and I immediately thought, Oh God, he is not going to be able to get that down. I had to quickly remind myself that he can still eat that way and it is "normal" to everybody else. I also saw a stranger eating in his car on my way to work and had that same thought again. It cracks me up that I keep having to remember that my normal is different now. I am actually glad that my mind crossed over so quickly to accepting my new eating as "normal" to me. I don't feel deprived now. Anybody else have these thoughts?

I have those same thoughts EVERY time my husband eats! He will fix himself this HUGE ENORMOUS etc plate and I swear he will not be able to get all that in (and he does). The funny thing is, he actually eats less, and better, now that I have had this surgery. Two days ago, tho, he was craving something sweet. I told him forget it. He dug in the freezer and found some 2 month old + cookies and cream ice cream and made a huge ice cream shake - drank 2 glasses of it and was sick to his stomach all the rest of the night. Of course I tried to talk him out of it before hand, but I guess he got what was comming lol. I am just evil

Christen, I'm with you.....I just can't believe the hugh bites that people take. They look like their just shoveling the food in..I watch in amazement now. And to think just a few months ago, I was doing the same thing. Boy do they eat fast too. I eat with the ladies at work and man can they put the food away...(I think now) funny I never noticed preop. But sometimes I secretly think boy would I love to have a huge bite of a all the way burger....But that's OK I like getting thinner much better......donna
