Hi guys. Its been a while since I checked in. Overall, I am doing well. I have lost 52 pounds since surgery, so I am pretty happy with that. Its been 75 days since surgery. I don' t know if that is average pace or not, but I am still feeling pretty good about the weight loss.
My mental block lately has been with food! For probably the first 60 days after surgery, I was severely limited on how much I could eat. Literally 4 bites and I was full. 5 and I was uncomfortable. 6 I was sick. Then all of a sudden, it is like the clouds parted and I could eat more. Like nearly double. Now I can eat 8 bites of food. Even as I type this next part, I feel like it is ridiculous, but now I feel like I eat way too much. Couple that with, every time I eat, I am full, which was never the case before, even though I was eating way way more.
Any one else struggled with this craziness? The scale is dropping, so I know I am doing the right things, but mentally, I feel guilty every time I finish a meal. I worry constantly I am stretching my sleeve. Is it normal to almost "all of a sudden" be able to eat more than you were before?
