My Boyfriends Name is Food
Dec 29, 2008
As of today, I am 13 days out from surgery. December 17th, at 6:00 they slipped that mask over my mouth and said, "breathe deep". I woke up, with my world completely changed.
I have suffered and yes I said suffered through this Phase 1 liquid diet for the past 13 days. Little sips at first and then once I was home on the protein drinks an ounce to 2 ounces. My former daily diet consists mostly of carbs. I can go a week without any type of meat. Im busy, hence the Ramen noodle and baked potato supper's on test nights. I have not enjoyed the protein shakes at all, I have tried clear, I have tried mixing with milk. I have tried it all. Ive averaged about 40-45 grams of protein per day, not anywhere close to the 60 I am supposed to have. My only solace is to know that on the 31st at 3:15 Dr. Williams grants my wish to Phase 2.
I never realized how much time it took to create, think, produce the food I eat. The only way I can put it in to words is when you date someone and you are so completely comfortable with them, you kindof forget they are there in a way. You talk to them everyday, you see each other. You make each other happy, he helps you feel better about yourself, you help him. You know he is going to be there, loyal and waiting on you. Ive decided, my boyfriend for the past few years has been food, and we have broken up. Not a slow process, not lets see other people and then get back together later when we realize were meant to be, he is gone, vamoose. He has left the country never to return. You know how you feel after that really happens to you, nothing in the world can console you. You try to keep yourself busy, but then you remember the good times you and a ham sandwich had at the park. You spend time with friends, but all they do is ask you if they can fix you up with someone else (feed you), and then you have to explain, no no, I am done forever.
Now dont get me wrong, I have not shed the first tear. Losing 27 pounds in 13 days not only makes me happy, but makes me feel like a total liar when I say it. I cant believe it myself, let alone make other people believe it, because it does not seem humanly possible. I am happy I made this decision, for my life to be extended, Im glad I had the guts to go thru with it, because I know many who have not. Its just hard when you sit and think about all the good times you have had.
When I think of it, I really dont want the old food boyfriend back. Im much happier already, and besides, he was making me very fat. :)
