Notes:
Sent a note off to my weight loss doc and my liver doc asking if this rapid weight loss is an issue for my liver and if I need to stop Vit E prior to my surgery.
The weight loss doc got back to me :
"As far as I am concerned no worries about the weight loss and yes stop the Vitamin E."
Still waiting on my liver guy. With that said I am having a ravenous day, I wish I could dive into mountain of hot wings :) My vice is spicy hot food.
With this food deprivation I am learning some things about me and my relationship to food. Every now and again I forget I am on a special liquid diet and when I feel the hunger pain coming on I think ".. I can't wait to tear into some good hearty food ..". During that thought I become euphoric but when I realize I can’t do that I become slightly depressed for a minute or so. How does one get around this pleasure/reward mechanism that appears to be quite powerful! Uggh! I have 40 years or so of conditioning that dictates that food takes all the stress away and makes things better. Perhaps I need to figure out a way to avoid having the need for the “fix”. They say that food is a drug and we all want to be high, right? Is work too stressful? Is the commute too stressful? It is probably wise to try to remove some of the stress in my life, this will most certainly elevate my mood and perhaps I won’t have to turn to food for relief. It is a well know fact, at least to me, that whenever I go away on a vacation (at least 1 week) I always lose weight. It isn’t much, about a pound or two, but I do lose. I know for fact that my mood is much better when away on vacay. These are good thoughts and they will come in handy when the honeymoon period with the LAP-BAND ends. And by honeymoon I mean the rapid weight loss period.
Good night. L
