I wrote this below a few nights ago ... I wasn't going to post it. It was sitting there as a draft. Ya know what? I am posting it. I feel much better then when I wrote this and I think it's important to share as others may be feeling this way and maybe it will make them feel not so alone. I promised to always be honest. So, dear readers, I am in a better place today. Carry on

I feel frustrated tonight. Well the past day or so really. I feel like cognitively I have not grasped the concept of the finality of what goes on inside my body. I will NEVER be able to eat like I used to. Ever. My insides will always be different than most. My stomach sliced, intestines re-routed. Every time I eat, I think about it. Will this be ok? Will I get sick? Why are my insides making that awful sound? Why am I so gassy? How much protein did I have today? Did I take all my vitamins/meds? Did I drink enough water?
I feel worn out and tired of thinking about it. Fucking exhausted actually. I think now more about food and what goes into my body then I ever have! I am sick of it.
I feel like when I see all the stories of people going from a size whatever to a super small size I cannot even fathom my bones alone fitting into that size. But I have seen pictures! Of women who were BIGGER than me to start and they are in a size 4 pants! Say what!? I am not sure if you stripped all the fat and skin off my bones that my pelvis alone would fit into a 4 pants! As an adult I have never been smaller than a size 14. How will I get there? How long will it take? Is it even possible?!
I am not patient. I am bitchy today and I am roaring. Lots of stuff in my head. No regrets ...just a LOT of frustration!
Life is a series of hills and valleys. You are going to have ups and downs. Get yoiu frustration out with words, instead of with food. I'm proud of you sista!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of reading all your posts. I'm going to have WLS soon (Roye). This is the most honest day so far! You are doing great. We seem to have a lot in common, the more I read, the more I see myself. Thank you for posting.
