Wisdom? Questions?

9/18/2004
I woke up this morning for the first time, questioning the wisdom of doing something so drastic. Do I really want to change my routine/habits so significantly? Will I ever get to eat "real" food again? Will I be able to go out with my friends again? I'm sure this is really normal, and a positive sign. I also don't want to fall back into the eating disordered talk/behaviors. I think I am aware enough of the signs, that I would seek assistance if I were having a problem with it. I am attempting to make some of the changes the dietician suggested the other night, especially the caffeine/sugar transition. I've asked co-workers for baby food coupons. One asked if I had something I wasn't telling? hee hee. I asked another about nutritional supplements/protein drinks. I don't think the baby food will be such an issue, I've had to use it when I had TMJ problems. I found it interesting that at the class there was no mention of tofu/vegetarian products to help with the protein and it's a naturally soft food. Last week I ordered the book on Lap Band as well as a cookbook after WLS. It hasn't arrived yet, and I'm a little anxious about receiving it.
