1/2 a Cup of Food

1/2 a cup of food. that's it per meal. once i have the surgery i'll max out at 1/2 cup of food per meal with the tiny little pouch sectioned off by the band. that's 4 ounces...it's the same amount i feed each dog, twice a day. THEY'RE CHIHUAHUAS!!! me and the dogs will have the same size tummies! WHAT THE HELL!?!? and 4 ounces is the entire meal, not just one course. the doctors want me to eat only lean meats for that 4 oz meal so i won't suffer from protein deficiency which causes things like hair loss, fingernail loss, edema, dizzy spells, and a myriad of other lovely side effects all ultimately ending in a slow, painful death. i don't want to suffer from protein deficiency either, but what about fiber? when one embarks on a meat-based diet with little to no carbohydrates, laxatives have to be ingested because of the lack of fiber.
um...no.
ex-lax is not my idea of a party favor. and shakes from sonic (which tend to have a laxative effect on most) are forbidden because of the amount of fat+sugar+calories. i guess i'll find out more from margie and sylvia tomorrow at lapbandlunch.

oh and during that 1/2 a cup of food, i have to chew everything to liquid before swallowing and wait 1 minute between bites. WHO HAS THAT KIND OF TIME?!? but i guess if i'm only eating 4 ounces of food per meal, i'll have extra time as there won't be too many bites in 4 ounces of food. it'll all pay off when i can wear a pair of 501s (with or without spanx) or buy lingerie at victoria's secret.

still can't find my keys. the jeep key replacement is going to run me around $100. i REALLY miss my keys.
good night, all...
