9 weeks Post Op

[Ange6012]

9 weeks Pos Op! Down 30 lbs. Feeling good, finally saw the dietician who has helped me with meals. I'm now able to get my protein in, 3 meals and most of my water and have lost weight.
A huge fear of mine was once I start eating I'm going to gain. But I am listening to my body and trying to learn that we do not have to finish what's on the plate.
What I am finding is alot of food anxiety I have from my days of anorexia and bulimia are still there. Also trying to not eat when I'm stressed and overwhelmed.

It's still a struggle but mostly because of having to research the brain

You're doing great! It is hard to deal with our mental issues with food and you should be proud that you're tackling it head on and so early in your process.

Thanks Roni I'm not that confident lol. But I sure am trying. Everyday is a struggle for me.

Add to that I just brought my mom to my house after being in tge hospital for almost a week. Diagnosis congestive heart failure. Diet has to change to low sodium she's not happy and at 83 very stubborn lol. Can you say stress! So more control is needed to deal with her lol. I was never her favorite child but after 2 years of getting things done for her medically and pushing drs etc, she was diagnosed, treated and is now in remission from lymphoma. Here we go again, this time chf! Ugh she needs a break! But she told me I am now her favorite of course I don't believe her but she knows I'm not going to let up until she is feeling better
