context is king...

the back story: i was leaving for lunch yesterday when i saw 2 guys coming back from wendys. they both had 32oz drinks and a bag of food. i thought to myself it would take me almost 2 hours to tackle the drink alone, not to mention whatever "deep fried easy" was in the bag. so lets just say 4 hours total to make it through what they'll down in 30mins tops. just suck on that for a minute.

without the surgery i have NO IDEA how i would ever be able to see how poor the quality/quantity of food was. it's all just white noise, eat this, don't eat that. with only about 5oz of space i have now and with 30 to 45 mins for that to pass through, you REALLY evaluate everything you swallow. the surgery was a life saver in more than one way. to think i make through my day eating about 700 calories and don't feel hungry or tired is CRAZYTOWN.

with 700 calories but packed with protein is how that's possible. it's about the quality of the food not the quantity if you want to have energy and not feel hungry. trust me on this. the main point is "context is king". 

if you don't have context it's hard for things to resonate. on that note, i started eating a little solid food. still not going to share because it's against dr's orders.  i'll be shopping for things to eat today. i don't think i mentioned this before but i drink water constantly ALL DAY. since you can't just down a bottle of water whenever you feel like it you have to keep drinking all day. it seems like a lot of work but honestly it's a lifestyle change. without the surgery you'd have to do things drastic like this to make an immediate change in your health. it's brave new world kinda stuff.
