crazy confession time

All I have to say is reading about all this food is making me hungry

i've had those very wings.. . i woulda cried too.

I think we have all been quite upset about the loss of food.  I didn't cry...I got PISSED.  I was SOOO mad that I couldn't eat.  It does get better.  But I think it is safe to say that it will ALWAYS be a matter of choice.  I get sad now when I hear about a good buffett and I KNOW if  went there I could only eat my 6 ozs.  I want to EAT it all.  But, I'm happy that I am making the right choice not to.  You are doing great.  LEAVE the room while they are eating...or have them go OUT to get the food and you stay home.  There is NO SHAME in making adjustments that make this journey easier on YOU. 

No need to mourn the loss of chicken wings.  There are a few chicken wings in your future.  It is protein by the way...

The first few months of WLS, any WLS are so difficult. Keep in mind also, for women especially, we're in hormone HELL. Your hormones are stored in your fat and if you've lost 45 lbs in 3 weeks, imagine what you've just let loose in your body! It's like PMS on Crack. (BTW, CONGRATS on the loss!!).

So firstly, crying, or in the words of others, going bat**** crazy is perfectly normal and to be contended with. In time it will pass, and you will move on.

I just posted on a another thread that I can't have anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it 'cause I dump, but WHO CARES? The quality of life SO beats it, it doesn't matter NOW, but it sure mattered then. Time will heal the wounds of missing food.

Thank you all for your support.  I didn't go bat****!! I actually heated up some of eggface's ricotta bake, and survived.  They were asking me so many questions about my surgery that I didn't really even notice it.  Hooray!

I did end up giving myself a little slack last night because, as most of you pointed out, I am in hormone hell. 

Starting to feel "normal" again...thank god.

Have a great weekend everyone!

45 pounds is awesome.

When I was early out, I cried at the sight of a Subway meatball sandwich and I never liked them before WLS.  I, like all of us, when thru the "what the @@@@ did I do?

I tried a wing about 3 months out and it didn't agree with me.  I probably at it too fast but at that time, dense protein was giving me issues.  After a little over a year out, I'm getting better as long as the meat is cooked properly and moist. 

The hormones will eventualy even themselves out.  Giving youself slack is a good thng--you are doing great.
