1 month post op.

I am now 1 month post op.  I am weighing in at 204 pounds. I'm so close to the 100's!  I have now lost 34.6 pounds and I feel great!!  I'm amazed at the difference in the way I feel compared to last week.  I have been able to eat more this week with very little pain! I got to experience the "foamies" and vomiting Monday due to reheated eggs. I definitely won't be doing that again. It was a horrible feeling.  I also bought very low sugar (3 grams) and low carbohydrate ice cream that I have tried to eat twice now and both times it made me feel like shit.  So that was a disappointing reality.  Oh well Ive realized its just my body letting me know that I don't need it.  I did wake up this morning after having a dream that my Dad bought donuts and I ate one and it didn't hurt me at all. Imagine the let down when I realized it was all a dream.  My subconscious obviously wants some sugary carbohydrates.  

 I am to the point in my journey that other people are noticing the changes.  It's always been hard for me to take compliments. Most often I want to crawl into a hole and hide.  It's that whole negative self image and confidence.  I am ready to release that and feel good about myself.
I hope everyone has a great Halloween. It's been hard not digging through my daughters sack of candy. Really hard.  It's the smallest changes that are the hardest.
