Three Weeks Post Surgery

I have been on thick pureed food for one week now and, for the first time in my life, I have not felt the slightest bit hungry.  A couple of times yesterday I actually had to remember to eat! 

I’ve also increased my walking to 12 minutes a day and already feel I’ve got more ‘get up and go.’  Previously my ‘get up and go’ often ‘got up and went!’

While I don’t have any physical hunger, I am craving spaghetti and cheese on toast as my first ‘real’ meal.  However instead of 4 slices of toast and cheese plus a large tin of spaghetti, I’m going to try one quarter of that amount (and the cheese will be reduced fat).

I’m never going to be one of those people who say that food no longer interests them.  I unashamedly love food and will continue to love food.  The only difference is that I will be eating much smaller amounts and by losing weight I will be able to enjoy other things in my life as well!
