Fun Fact Friday

July 25th, 2008

* I miss holding my baby girl. I miss taking care of her. I miss playing with her.

* I think I might leave the house today. I mean, I actually FEEL like leaving the house today.

* I’m mourning the loss of food. I haven’t had real food in two weeks and I have 10 days to go. I want to chew and swallow. I’m tired of drinking, damn it.

* I lost 11 pounds in the 10 days before surgery and gained it all back on the day of surgery. Gotta love all that I.V. fluid. I’m back down those 11 pounds, now. YAY!

That’s all you’re getting. I got nothing.

    How is Maddie taking it? Is she pissed that you are laid up?

    Hang in there man!

    Hang in there Erica! I’m glad to read that you’re feeling better today.

    Delurking to say thank you for being honest about this procedure. I have been at least 100 pounds overweight for more than five years now, and God knows I have contemplated this procedure more than once. I am really looking forward to see the process of how you come to terms with your food addiction and learn to re-think food as fuel instead of comfort.

    I know if I could figure this out, I would not be fat anymore.

    Good luck and keep fighting the good fight! You are doing AWESOME!!

    Tessie – She’s been acting out in front of me. When I’m napping, or just resting in another room and she’s with Gerald, she’s cool as a cucumber. As soon as she sees me, it’s “MAMA!!” and then the whining and crying starts. Poor girl doesn’t understand why I’m not picking her up or playing on the floor with her anymore. It kills me.

    Aww, I’m sure it’s hard not to do much for Maddie. It won’t last long, then it will be back to normal for you two.

    It would get boring not to be able to eat.

    11 lbs? YEAH!

    I hope you manage to have a decent weekend.

    I was so pissed about all that post-surgery weight gain, too. It was really de-motivating. I’m glad you’ve lost yours! Go you!

    Poor Maddie! I hope you get to hold her soon.
