Default well I made it!!!!!

Well I made it thru the frist 2 1/2 weeks , and i am doing great! my surgery was 9-15. i do not have a working computer at home so i was not able to answer all the well wishes i recived, just know that i thank you all for all your help!! this is the first time i have been able to go on-line.
at first l was worried that i could eat to much, because everyone said that you could only get 2 or 3 bite down and i felt like i was getting way more then that down so i sort of freaked out and thought maybe that my pouch was not as small as it should be. then i reasoned with myself and talked to a couple of "old timers" and i felt somewhat better. i tend to worry too much. my husband has been great in keeping me grounded. i just get scared and think what if this does not work, but then i get on-line and read all of your threads and realize that it is for real and that it will work and that i need to stop thinking negitive and take things one day at a time!!! when i do that i start to get excited thinging about the future and all the great stuff in store!
my mind says go, go, go and my body say slow, slow,slow, for now. but soon!!!

thaks again!,
bettina

Bettina,
I am so glad to hear that you are doing well. I worried about my pouch being too large at first, too. The softer foods go down much easier and faster. When you start eating solid food, you will feel how small your pouch really is. It is an amazing journey. Welcome to the losing side and your new life.

Default thanks

Dale, Thank you for sharing with me, it make me feel better to know I am not the only one to feel that way. I am sure that once I start eating "solid" foods that it will feel diffrent.
one day at a time.

Bettina

This part of your post says it all! So right on the mark!

I've been worrying that my pouch will be so small I'll overload it on the first bite of 'real food' - that starts tonight - but like you, I'm probably worrying needlessly.

ONE DAY AT A TIME is the mantra we all need to follow!
