I feel like the old me
Last night was great for me...I ate roast beef, potato and green beans! All went down really good. 2 new things happened......
1) I crossed my legs and sat in a chair...didn't think this was going to happen for some time...I have only lost 41 lbs, but I did it without even thinking about it.
2) My first social event in my house. I had another couple here for cards. I made a surprise dip and fruit plate. I ate a late breakfast and then dinner. I saved my other meal for the event. I ate 2 crackers with dip and a little fruit. I think I did really well for the first social event. The other couple that came are good freinds and he is my boss. He loves real Coke and drinks it like its going out of style. It didn't even bother me. I think the key is that I was able to have some of the food that I served, and I had a cran-grape juice (the low cal one, with less sugar) to drink and I felt just fine.
I am starting to feel like my old self and can go through my day with reasonably normal activities. I did a little housework and my stength is no where near what it used to be like, but that should change with time. I still have 2 weeks off work.
Going through this surgery and then a stricture have taught me self control and amazing emotional strength. I know I can do this and succeed. This doesn't mean there won't be hard times, but for now I am in control and look forward to the next few months.
