Passing Me By

On May 2, 2006 I had Gastric Bypass Surgery. In this journal I will be telling of my ups and downs, the good and the bad. Please be warned that this blog may contain very personal things about me as well as some in depth descriptions of many things. If this is something you may not be able to handle, please do not read my blog.

Testing Emotional Strength

Every day it seems like it's getting harder and to watch everyone eat normal food. It's weird because I don't rely on food for comfort anymore. I dont live for food or eating anymore... I eat food to live now. These first few weeks after surgery are extremely difficult and truely do test your emotional strength.

Today we are going to see a movie... I will not be able to sit and have a big Coke and popcorn while watching it like I used to. Instead, I'll have a bottle of water and nothing at all to eat. It's different and a change and I just hope that Jon can understand that I may not be all happy and excited about having to make this change right now. I know that when I see the weight really coming off, I wont care because the reward of being thinner will be better than any food or soda or popcorn tastes!

I can do this... I can get through it... it's just so much work.
