Pushing the limits

I shouldn't be pushing my limits. Everyone tells me "don't push your limits." This is rather difficult for me because I never played by the 'rules' before and it is a challenge to do so now. Let's start off with how am I feeling. I feel great. I am 16 days post surgery. My new stomach has taught me a few new rules - Don't drink too much water, don't eat too fast, don't eat too many carbs and especially Don't eat lettuce!
But this is all quite strange for me. All my research said "it took me six weeks before I could eat chicken" or "it took me months before I could handle an egg." I spent a while considering which would come first for me - the chicken or the egg. Frankly neither was an issue. I was eating poached eggs within four days of coming home from the hospital. I tried chicken just a few days ago and again - not a problem. This might be because I am not eating very much. One egg fills me for hours. A piece of chicken breast may be as only as large as a tablespoon.
I think the disadvantage of feeling good is that silly idea that I am invincible. I have to convince myself that going to exercise three times in one day is a bit excessive. And that it makes sense for me to rest.
Resting is important. It has taken me nearly three weeks to be able to just slow down, stop and rest. Yesterday Marla and I had to commit to not doing a whole day where we wouldn't do chores, no errands, just spending the day resting. Marla was a saint about the whole thing because she watched really bad super hero movies with me (which really weren't very good).
So what have I learned - I really picked up that I have to respect my limits because they are not just a set of rules handed down by doctors, dietitians, and experienced WLS'ers, but they are commandments that my body have set up to say "If you want to be healthy; don't screw around!"
On the other hand, I get very contrary guidance from my body. On one hand, or rather stomach, I cannot eat much. Yet, because I am not eating very much, my blood sugars are very low. I don't want to have more sugars but my doctors are telling me to use juices and carbs to get my levels higher. Advice from the forums and friends are going "no, stay away those empty calories and carbs." Everyone means well and everyone has their own story - I will just make this part of mine. But it comes down to this - I need the advice of everyone on the forums and those who help keep my best interests at heart. I also need to rely on the experience of my surgeon and specialists. So let us just take it all one day at a time, and keep moving forward towards an improved healthier me. Those are the only limits I need to push - the ones that make me a better me.
