(Above photo credit: Anastasia Purl) Two days ago, I hit my 6 week mark after my surgery! I am feeling pretty good and as of today, I am officially on a REGULAR diet!! The volumes I can handle are still pretty small, but I can have whatever I want now (within reason, obviously). I am establishing a new relationship with food. The sweet cravings, unfortunately, are still there. But, I am doing my best to not sabotage myself. Allowing myself some grace to navigate this next chapter of my life 🙂
This week I have been discovering and enjoying new flavors (and revisiting some old standbys). I have been enjoying vegetarian meatballs, eggs, mushrooms and green bell peppers. I even tried some black bean spaghetti!
My incisions are healing beautifully! I know that they will fade some more. Pretty happy with how they look! 
I am getting very close to “onderland,” meaning I am almost under 200 pounds for the first time in MANY years. I have lost 20 pounds since surgery, and 28 pounds since I started my pre-op diet! Wow!
