For the first time since I started playing the Wii Fit game, I really look forward to the body tests. I jump out of bed and get on the balance board...I'll be honest, six months ago I wouldn't dare! Just preparing my body for the band, I am already feeling changes, in fact I am 6 pounds down from my last surgery appt!
I googled 6 lbs and found this burrito..*raises eyebrow* talk about a reality check, ew.
I have been trying to keep my mind and body occupied with other things, such as knitting, reading, exercising... I have recently decided to start painting again. I find balance in this, and it's just nice to have something that's just mine, that no one has any expectations of, that just belongs to me.
Since you'll be eating next to NO food for a while, I'd look up some great recipes for nutritious broth. Canned stuff doesn't give you enough nutrition. I hope you find the wellness you seek! Share your paintings on here, too :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to be post-op! You will do great, trust me parts of it really get easier and as you see successes on and off the scale you will enjoy nourishing your body with healthy foods!
ReplyDeleteGood things are going to happen for you soon - you're gonna be banded! Whooo.. I too will have a look around for you for nutritious things to eat when on liquids. It might help you get past the worst of it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for the support..it really does mean a lot.
