1 Month, NSV, and the Weigh has been lifted

Hi everybody.  Just wanted to drop a line.  1 Month follow up today.  Everything is going great. down 36 lbs. NUT wants me to eat more. (Sigh....) and get Protein up to 80g.   Time to Snack More.  

NSV - Had to get some blood work done for my Endo next week.  And i did not touch the sides of the chair... I sat down rolled up my selves... then it hit me.  i'm not touching the chair...and when i got up.. i did not have to hold the arms to make sure the damn thing did not stick to my ass... Exciting.

Now for the Fun Part.

My wife and i went out for dinner with one of our friends who has a band (Which has more then failed for her) and was asking us about our choices.  We where chatting and then it hit me.

Food no longer rules my life.   From the Man that was so consumed with getting his next meal to the actualization that i don't need to eat.  That food is not a goal.  The fact that i can look somebody in the eye and Say without any hesitation "The Gremlin on my back is gone.  I don't need it anymore"  

It was so emotionally liberating.  Something that i have lived with for so long.   "I Dont Need to EAT"... I may have to.. but i no longer NEED TO.....

Fucken 'A 

I am so happy

Congrats! Love your posts! Inspiring, and motivate me. Yep, ****** A is a good description of the little things I notice, similar to yours, ever day since surgery!

Thanks Jen... It was quite the revelation

Great realisation. Hope all continues to go so well

Just amazing!  I think you have managed to eloquently put to words the jumbled emotions and feelings that fly around in our heads.

I completely understand your jubilation.  I too cannot wait until I experience those NSV moments.

Good for you!!!!!!!
