Eating is Work!

I don't believe that subject heading--that I wrote it--but it just goes to show how low my energy level is.
John,
celebrating the new job he starts tomorrow and my getting out of the
hoispital,  took me and Gino for brunch at Tropics, one of the popular
gay restauarnt and cabaret's in Wilton Manors in Fort Lauderdale.

The
brunch is divided into two sections--on the north side of the
restaurant are all the breakfast items and on the south all the lunch
items. I did try to behave myself by watching my intake
regarding amount of food, the sodium items, etc. I certainly didn't
have all the desserts I usually have.

FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I GOT TIRED EATING!!!!! LIFTING THAT FORK,
SPOON AND KNIFE WAS WORK NOT TO MENTION HOLDING THE BAGEL, CREAM CHEESE
AND LOX, fRENCH TOAST, SEAFOOD AND MEAT QUICHE, COFFEE CUP, CAKES, EGGS
BENEDICT, PEEL AND EAT EM SHRIMP, CREAM PUFFS,  JUST TO NAME A FEW
ITEMS--
-wait, didn't I say I didn't eat as much as usual????
Well, I did skip a few of the desserts, the meatballs, the ravioli, the
biscuit and gravy, the breakfast lasagna, etc.

I
WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO GO BACK THERE FOR BRUNCH WHEN I GET MY STRENGTH
BACK AND DO SOME GOOD OLD FASHIONED EATING LIKE I USE TO!!!!



I WANT A CIGARETTE!!!!!!!!


Anything else i can complain about????   LOL

It's a way to help get off some weight, but you do have to eat. Here's to an improving appetite!

Hey, if you went to a restaurant and ate all of that, you are doing quite well.

Martin I'm amazed your out and about after such a major surgery...no wonder your tired. Complain away hun..just take care of yourself..don't push yourself.

This is typical.I went through all of this.
My appetite was not all that great,but good.
Also,I wish that you would not go back to smoking.
I know that you can do it.
We want to have you around.Look all around you they love you.
Surprise us with a year anniversary of not smoking.
Good luck and take deep breath.

Stop smoking!!! What's the point of going thru heart surgery if you're going to then recommence damaging it with more cigarettes?? I speak as a former 3 pack a day man. Hey, your food will taste better; I guarantee it, buddy. Get well soon!!

Accept it Martin, you're not quite as young as you used to be.... but pretty damned good for all that. I dont think I'd be going to restaurants so soon after such an operation.

It is going to take you some time to get back up to par. I think you are doing well considering everything you have been through. I really wish that you wouldn't go back to smoking. I have witnessed so much lung and heart disease of loved ones and friends that are no longer here because of cigarettes.

Take care and give your self time. Remember one day at a time.

You have a right to complain. We all do that when we are not feeling up to par! Feel free to complain!
Have you given up cigarettes or is this a temporary thing until you are feeling better?
