I went grocery shopping alone for the first time in a while. Usually, my wife handled that because my back hurt too much to walk the store.
It is VERY different experience shopping for a bariatric tummy. I'm having a hard time having meat - so I picked up some tofu for the protein. I've honestly never had tofu before - but I'm looking forward to playing around with it.
I'm feeling like I wish I could eat more. I know that sounds crazy, but I can barely get in more than a few bites before having some discomfort ... and I just wish I could get more in so I can have a fair shot at getting in protein and whatnot.
Other than having a micro-tummy ... I'm doing pretty fantastically. No real regrets - just a few bouts of general blahness about not being able to eat at all - but I know it will come in time.
Hope everyone is well.
Even at 5 months post op I still deal with wanting to eat more sometimes. Often its a trigger food for me... a prior comfort food that I indulged in. The thing is, I ate pretty healthy pre-op. I just ate too much of it. There's not much I love more than spaghetti squash mixed with a bit of fresh parmesan and a little butter.... yet, sleevie says NO if I have more than a tiny portion. It's going to be a struggle for a long time I think. But I'm ok with that... I like when sleevie reminds me its there. It's why I am enjoying a tiny size 8 in clothing these days! :)
