My obsession

I'm completely obsessed by food.  That's pretty much all I think about day and night.  It's been almost four weeks now that I've been on a liquid diet and I'm sick and tired of it!  I have my first post-op follow-up appointment with the nurse and nutritionist on Monday and I'm desperately hoping that they'll tell me that I can incorporate eggs and tuna into my diet.  Those are among the foods that I crave the most.  In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables.  But I know I still have a few weeks to go before I'm "allowed" to eat those.  So yeah, I always loved to eat and to cook but I was never this obsessed by food before.  I guess it's because I'm extremely limited in the choice of foods I can eat and I'm hopeful that my obsession will fade a bit once I can go back to a more varied diet.  I know that I'll be forever limited in the amount of food I can ingest but I'm totally ok with that.  I really think it's the fact that I'm only allowed liquids that's starting to be a huge drag.  Thankfully, I only have two days and a half left. 

Still, my obsession has an upside and I decided to put it to good use.  I'm planning to put up recipes for things I cook and like that I think are appropriate for gastric bypass and/or lap band surgery people (so low fat, low sugar, high protein).  The first one I'm going to put up shortly is for tuna cakes.  Yum!

Otherwise, all is good.  I've been cooking a lot and going for walks with my dog and my BF.  I'm feeling super good.  I'm starting work/school on Monday.  I have mixed feelings regarding that; on one side, I'm dreading it but at the same time, I'm looking forward to going back to a vague routine and to have other things on my mind than my health and food.
