I ate really good whole foods today and was instantly reassured that my gastric sleeve is still everything it should be. e.g., for brekkie I had a poached egg and some mashed avocado on a slice of toast... could only eat a little over half of it. It's amazing how much crap processed foods you can get down... but sticking to healthy foods, I'm satisfied quickly.
I found a good Aussie website last night... perfect for me and my situation post op... I have ordered a few books that will help me get a handle again on what to eat. They even have specific meal plans for me (as of course, the usual weight watcher style plans are no longer suitable). I'm looking forward to having some variety in my eating...I think it will help me keep interested.
I drank some water today, but still not enough. I only had two coffees, and for a work day that is a big improvement. I didn't even miss them...just thought about wanting to be healthy... reminding myself that I do not get hungry, just 'head hungry'.
I had planned to go for a walk tonight, but the weather is pretty crappy, so I'm opting for a bath instead. Usually that would fill me with guilt...but my focus here is self-care... so there will be no regrets for choosing one self care activity over another. :)
I feel ok as far as alcohol goes... I sorta want a drink, but honestly think I am really thirsty and have been dehydrated for a very long time lol. So I'm drinking water for now. There is no alcohol in the house and I don't intend to buy any. I know there will be harder days. But today was a good day. One day at a time huh?
