www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com .... someone sent me this on a forum reply and i am stoked .. just a QUICK LOOK OVER  and gave me alot of ideas and things to try .. food wise .. i have a huge sweet issue .. i dont hunger for it but my head still wants it when i am sad and today was kinda a depression day for me i think and that halloween candy started looking better and better.. there were alot of recipes and ideas on this page thank you thank you .. it came at a time i really needed it to keep me on track of why i did think and how i can still have things just diffrent

I know i have talked to a few about this but i cant believe how tired/drained I get .. I mean before surgury with everything going on in my life and in my head i was getting by with liek 3 or 4 hours .. and i still have a bit of trouble at night winding down to actually go to sleep but man a good walk or a day out for the grocery shopping and i feel just like its time to collapse .. how long does it take for this tired thing to go away????

other then that i am doing pretty well .. trying to get used to everything still hating this no drinking for a hour after eating .... the 30 minutes before isnt so bad but the hour after is just aweful .. specially when i have frothed which is just aweful .. i havent gotten sick from anything but the frothing is evil this is the third time .. this over chewing thing is just harsh specially when you are trying to slow down and it still happens .. this was my third time with the frothing .. and the last too i dont know exactly why it happend i didnt think i was eating to fast and i was chewing carefully but hey it happens ..

(btw for those of you not knowing what frothing is  Frothing i s: when you eat to fast or dont chew well enough and something usually meat gets stuck on the way down and cause you dont have acids in your pouch (their made in your old tummy so say hello to saliva) you produce huge ammounts of saliva or musas or whatever youw ant to call it to help that piece of whatever move through to the pouch.. the thing is you make so much of it you start spitting the saliva up you can even puke it up and you think its puke till you look and see what in the heck its just spit .. ewwww .. though i guess its better then puking in the first place so CHEW WELL))

So as i believe i said before with all the water they put in me while in the hospital cause of the possible dehydration after surgury when i checked out i was like 24 lbs heavier then my previous way in 2 or 3 weeks before surgury but NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

went to my dietition meeting and weighed in from the check out day 49 lbs yes i said 49........ amazing huh .. well it is to me 
I came home on the 11th so that means 10 days since i was weighed and 13 days since surgury and 49 lbs .. woot .. now i know i cant lose that all the time but its a great start .. and brings me to a total of 73lbs down since the journey started .. now if i can do it just about anyone can. i have had alot of hurdles in my way and i got over them .. and i cant jump remember perma broken ankle ... so DON'T GIVE UP!!!! its do able

You know thoe small tupperware that comes with the sets and you open the box and are like what in the heck em I ever gunna use these for? well YOU DO!!!!!!!!!!! the hubby made me a great meal last night and weighed out the rest and seperated them into exact incraments of what I should have per meal then this morning i had my yogurt and cottage cheese and then needed to save the yogurt so i went ahead and weighed out my yogurt and cottage cheese and put them in tupperware and grr not enough of those little tupperwares so had to use bigger ones .. just kinda make you think your not getting much when you have a big bowl and just a little food .. so boys and girls lesson learned little tupperware IS useful .. 

so yesterday i got to have my first egg and it was umm good then for lunch i could have another egg and it was ookay but not really worthy of enjoying  so i traded it for cottage cheese  which was eeeeeehhhhh kinda weird .. usually I really like cottage cheese .. so I logged on here cause i was concerned everything was gunna be ehhhhhhhhh and wanted to know if it was normal.. no one really seemed to want to answer me but out of the blue My Buddy G messaged me and saved me from my aggrivation told me it was normal and got me out of my rut and  my youngest daughter saved the day by asking for my yogurt which I totally forgot is concidered PROTIEN so i have a new enjoyment Half cottage cheese half yogurt it cuts the weirdness and the sweetness and is just yum .. but that is not what the real yum is ... so here it is

So after lunch the hubby desided he was gunna take over the menu for the next while so we got out all my nutrition info and he went shopping so here is my real first mean and it was YUMMMM! ... he got a ground turkey and cooked it with a little garlic and onion powder then took a low moisture low skim mozzerella cheese and graded it so the combo of them was great  YUMMM YUMMM...

I can do this its just about being creative and finding ways to make things flavorful.  Don't give up when the walls seem to be infront and making it harder we are all tough and have come along long way to go through this journey and we can do this we already have ...
