Day 40 Post Op

Feeling good and almost back to normal.  The scale said 209 this morning.

To recap.
Jan 28, 2009 I weighed in at 269.  In six months I lost 30 pounds through diet and exercise.
Sept 8, 2009 I weighed in at 239.  In 40 days I lost 30 pounds due to weight loss surgery.

I have started eating very small portions of real food.  I spent a day or too in Vegas last week and had prime rib!  I took three bites off my friend's plate and was completely satisfied.  The portion served was so huge and I remember thinking that I could have eaten the whole thing before.  Our stretchable stomaches are a huge design flaw...sorry God, but why do we have the capacity to eat such huge portions, when we can survive on such little food?

As I am introducing real food back in to my diet I am struggling a bit with portion control.  I have eaten too much three or four times and it is not a pleasant experience.  One little bite will put me over the edge and I am slowly learning when I should stop eating by listening carefully to body.  When I have had too much, it feels like severe heart burn AND that there is something stuck in your esophagus.  It lasts for a minute or too and I never want to feel it again.

I'll be blogging monthly now, instead of weekly or bi-weekly.  Thanks all for reading my little blog, see you  next month :)
