Now We Start

Tomorrow I transition to real food, just in time for the Jennings family reunion. Not that it will matter, half a cup of anything and I am full. It's a beautiful thing.

I used to be a bottomless pit. I can't be full, there's still food on the table. Now I eat a little. I stop eating. I feel full. It feels like the link missing my whole life.

Weight loss surgery has given me something I could never summon on my own: the ability to push back from the table. 

I'm excited to move on with this journey, but also a little apprehensive. It's almost like leaving the nest and safety of liquid diets, soft foods and regimented eating. I'll enjoy a little variety in my diet, especially a break from yogurt, but with it comes the responsibility to complete this journey and realize it's full potential.

Now we start.
