Walking around the "World"... DisneyWorld that is.

So... I could eat a little bit today, a very little bit but maybe this is what I am supposed to be eating. I got a kids' meal at Bob Evans tonight. It was 3 grilled chicken strips and a small salad... I ate one of the 3 grilled chicken strips and a couple pieces of lettuce and I was full, then I was hungry again 2 or 3 hours later. but I am full after a couple bites of food. I had some tunafish for lunch, a little it of pineapple and some butternut squash soup... also today. I was craving Taco bell, so I got one hard taco and had about 1/2 of it... and It went down fine, but I was full. I used to eat 3 or 4 tacos at a time, Now one is more than enough. I am thrilled about that. I haven't let myself have them but I will treat myself once in a while If I want one.... just one. I still can't believe it... Is this what being at your "Sweet Spot" feels like? I am not sure yet but, I am doing well today. I didn't eat alot of anything, but I was able to eat a bunch of little amounts of things, but not to the point of grazing of course. I don't want to speak to soon, but my band is definitely working... I have restriction, at first I thought it was too tight, but It seems pretty good. I will go to DisneyWorld for the first time tomorrow since my surgery. So I will see how it feels to go without getting a treat or eating a bunch of junk. I am also going to pop in to say hello to my Hubby at work since many of his work friends have been asking about me. He is a server/waiter at the Liberty Tree Tavern Restaurant in Liberty Square, Magic Kingdom. I haven't walked around the park in years... usually I can only go when George is off and he pushes me in my wheelchair, well, look out folks, I am walking... around the Magic Kingdom tomorrow. Fun! I hope his co-workers notice the new me... 74 pounds less of me, that is. Excited!

  2. Sounds like you are at your sweet spot - my surgeon said that feeling hungry after 3 hours or so is fine and that is when you can have a little snack like a cracker or yoghurt or fruit (but I'm no saint so it would be chocolate in my case!)
    Excellent news that you are planning on walking in Disney World; you are so lucky to have such a fun place to visit!

  10. I can't wait to hear how your Disney walk goes! Pretty big NSV, if you ask me! We've been holding off on a Disney vaycay with the boys because I want to be small enough to a)walk it all and b) go on any ride I want. Have a fantastic day, Maria!!
