Time is wasting.
Time's a changing.
Ticking time bomb.....
TIME.
Time passing is something I have to teach myself to deal with since this surgery.
- for example:
I have to wait 4 weeks for soft food. Strictly puréed food for me for 4 weeks. So far {amazingly} over one week has passed. Puréed food is boring. And currently only cream of wheat and creamy soups satisfy me right now.
I have to make 2 oz. { picture 2 oz. - that's 2 shots for you alcohol lovers} last for 20-30 minutes when I eat. When I sip 2 oz. of soup it needs to take a half hour. THAT IS HARD. Hard to wait. Hard to be patient. Hard to stop sipping when it tastes so fucking good, but I know if I eat anymore, I'll be sick -
Time is a tricky thing. I wonder where it went when I look at my teenagers. I wonder why I let so many years pass in an unhealthy, obese body.
But I am working on realizing that if I take my time, and plan my "meals" pretty soon a year will have passed, that time will be gone and I'll be sporting a new healthy body.
I appreciate you posting about this. I have other friends who have done this surgery. It does not sound like the "cake" like I'd imagined it was. I don't know/think I could do it. I LOVE eating and don't want to stop when I have had enough of a good thing. It takes a whole re-training of your brain. Good job for going for it.
