So I've been reading some other blogs for a while now, blogs written by people who have had WLS (weight loss surgery). Check out Eggface's link on the left side of my page. I've gotten a lot of recipes off of her page, stuff even non-ops might find appetizing. Trainer Tim has sampled and enjoyed a couple of things I've made. What I need to do is look for my info that tells me when the support group is for patients of my surgeon and go to those meetings, but I digress. This morning, I read a conversation going down on one of these blogger's facebook pages. It was a "guess the acronym" type of thing. The acronym was LPS (little pouch syndrome), meaning a day when you feel like you just can't eat much at all. Especially when juxtaposed with BPS (bottomless pit syndrome), or those days when you feel like you can eat a lot. Well I had no idea these two syndromes were common among WLSers. I just thought I was the weird one for having one day where I can eat enough, no problem, and then the next day, I feel full to the gills after 3 bites. So inconsistent! I also read in that conversation that it's a very common thing for WLSers not to be able to eat as soon as they wake up in the morning (or in my case, in the afternoon). Big sigh of relief over here. I may be a freak, but at least I'm not the only freak...
Side note, 52 pounds down on my last weigh day (I'm shooting for Sundays or Mondays). The weight loss has slowed way down, but I'm trying to focus on what I need to do every day to keep up this healthy LIFESTYLE. I'm also trying to be a good girl and to stay off the scale except for on weigh days. This. is. HARD. for. me. !!!!!!
