Who did this?

Posted by beth on January 24, 2009

I feel like I’ve had one of those stomach bands surgically implanted. You know, the ones that make you lose weight by not eating so much. I’ve heard people who have them say that they literally cannot eat very much at a time or it hurts. Now, I don’t know what kind of pain they’re having, but for the past several nights, I’ve felt sort of nauseated even though I haven’t eaten anything spicy or bad. I mean, last night, I had some peanut butter toast. Talk about bland. But a few hours later, I felt like I was fighting to hold that toast at bay. And a couple of hours ago, I was eating some pasta. It’s a pasta salad-ish thing I buy every time I go to Trader Joe’s, and normally, I eat the whole container, sometimes adding in some veggies and/or tofu. But I couldn’t even eat just the serving without any additions today.

So what I want to know, is who has given me surgery without my knowledge? Come on. Fess up. And can you please give me a list of foods that will not hurt me? Are Voreos ok? How about vizza? The only thing I really seem to be able to eat a significant amount of is cereal, which hey, let’s be honest, I ain’t complainin’ about. But that’s no balanced diet.

But as long as we’re on the subject, would you rather only eat Fruit Loops for the rest of your life OR have everything you eat make you queasy?
