Where is everybody?

Hiii!! I'm back-as you might have already noticed-my husband did really well . I missed you all . Just wondering where everyone's at? I left for 3 whole days and the board still shows my last post . I hope everyone is doing super. I didn't do too good while I was out of town-I forgot to drink a few doses of my supplements & didn't drink enough water or take in enough protein. I only lost 2 pounds since last week. Things seem to be slowing down for me-which I think is not good. I thought maybe to help myself lose more #s I'd join my hubby and do the liquid thing until he can start on creamy or mushy foods but I just couldn't do it. I get hungry!? Yes, my stomach growls and I get hunger pangs like I did before. Granted, it only takes a little bit to satisfy me and I only have 3 meals a day and maybe 1 snack (usually applesauce) but do you think my eating has put me on a stall? Anyway, just wanted to say HELLO! Elisa

Hello Elisa, I'm still in Port St Lucie, Florida, though it would be better stated to say I live in a land of confusion. I just had some pasta sauce mixed with parmesean and rigotta cheese. It goes down, stays down, doesn't hurt, has a ton of protein, and most importantly, tastes good. I'm so very glad everything went well for hubby-poo. You better keep up with your water and supplements or Gigi will snatch away your sign priveleges! Gosh

Silly lady!! Hey you got that stricture back didn't you? I'm so sorry-what is your doc going to do about it now? I hope you feel better soon. Thanks, hubby is home & I have been a good nurse. Well-except for my driving I think he thinks I purposely go over all the bumps, potholes, & dips on the roads. I do not-the streets just suck around here. Hey were's G'ster at? I haven't seen her post in a while. I know I better watch out and drink all my water. I'm scared , I really am. Nice hearing from SOMEBODY!! Elisa

Hey Elisa, We know you and your sinister plots. Soon you'll be driving to Arizona, for more challanging potholes. You girl. Mabey you're related to Evil Kinevel, and he just never knew it. The stricture is visiting me again..... If she'd only leave some money, like the tooth fairy, I'd be set. Mabey I'll start answering the phone "mushy, mushy" like they do in Japan. All my food already is.... Gigi, wooohoooo. Little Gigi, where are you? Are you gonna start parceling out her sign privledges, if she doesn't drink her water??? My husband is strange. Yes, yes, I knew this going into the relationship. He's cleaning the monitor screen as I type this response. I think, mabey, he's seeking attention. (He says, yeah, my evil plot is working) Now he's masaging me. Gosh

Elisa, so glad your DH did well. About the potholes.... south LA has the WORST roads in the world! You cannot keep a front end alignment on vehicles. I had to drive my DH around after his GB surgery in April and he accused me of the same thing. I don't know where they get the thought we would do something so sinister! Getting back on your routine and schedule will probably help your weight loss to pick back up. I have noticed my body doesn't respond well to change. Glad you're back. We missed you!! Patricia

Thank you Patricia!! I didn't know your husband also had GB surgery? Wow, thats so cool! What is it like with both of you sharing the same healthy lifestyle? Yes I agree I have been a little off my regular routine. I need to get back on it ASAP!! Elisa

I'm sorry Elisa, I should have made it more clear. He had gallbladder surgery. However, he is trying to eat healthier. At least when he is home, I can kind of control what he eats. His lunch, on the other hand, is probably another story! But he is only 15 lbs over his ideal weight, and is working to lose it. He's a sweetie, and VERY supportive. Patricia

Oh ok silly me. I am so used to seeing gb and right away think gastric bypass. It's ok thanks for clearing it up. I bet your husband can lose those 15lbs in a month or less? WTG you two!! Elisa

I've been around. I noticed things were slow too. I just had a MAJOR stall myself. I only lost a pound in the last two weeks. I was starting to think I was doing something wrong. And, I was. I was chatting with my personal trainer and he started quizing me about what I was eating and how much. I told him and he said I need to eat more. He wanted me closer to 1200 calories a day. He said as much as I was exercising that I needed AT LEAST 1200 calories a day. So, I started eating more on Sunday. I can tell you that's been hard. I feel like I'm eating all day now. But, I'm down 3 lbs since Sunday. THREE POUNDS! I have to eat more to loose weight. Now, how crazy is that?

Well, I'm guilty of not exercising hardly any most weeks. I walk and so forth but not enough to call it workout. I'd be a little reluctant of eating more because I'm scared of falling back into my old habits with food. It's scary but you workout so all those calories cancel out, right? Thanks Terri for the input Elisa
