Day 35 - 6th day of purees/soft foods

So I've realized that my eyes are still bigger than my stomach.  I know it's a 'head-thing' that I'll have to get over.  I still look at portions and think 'it's not enough!!' but then I can't even eat it all.  I get full after just a few bites, which is awesome!  But I still love eating so much that I almost wish I could eat more.  Almost.  But I also realize that I love losing weight much, much more than I love eating food.  So I'm still convincing myself to make good choices.  I really focus on getting enough protein at each meal, which means ice cream is definitely out!  I just hope I can keep it up when I can actually eat more.

My clothes are definitely getting bigger.  My pants are almost hanging off.  However, I haven't been able to wear a smaller size since my tummy is still swollen and it hurts for anything to touch too closely.  At least I'm finally able to sit upright at my desk without a lot of pain.  I hope the swelling goes down soon.

Today is 3 weeks post-op.  The dreaded "3 week slump".  So I'm trying to prepare myself for it.  But I'm sure I'll still be upset.  I should probably put up the scale.  But I know I won't......
