Brain farts???

Hi gang, Well the good news is I'm down 68lbs. The bad news is the farts have started. I was told they would around 4 mos..... but they are on the wrong end!!! My brain is having blips; I can't remember diddly. I've started forgetting my vites a couple times a week, I think I'm eating well then I fitday and find I'm not getting enough in and try to compensate at the end of the day and I just can't, I think I'm drinking too much coffee instead of eating (though the doc said 2 cups a day was max and I rarely do that). I just seem to be discomboobilated. Or too comfy??? Anyone else getting that way? Is this my honeymoon phase coming to an end??? Eack!!!!! I'm losin control!!!!! Somebody kick me in the pants and make this all new again! J.

Funny I just posted something similar. I too feel like I have no control. I haven't lost but 2 pounds for like 2 weeks now. What to do? I hope someone who can help or enlighten us chimes in. Good luck to you Jackie & -68#s is great. Elisa

Maybe it's the [peroxide enhanced] blonde in me LOL, but that's the story of my life. I get the too comfy feeling, like I'll see myself grab for a teddy graham when DD is eating them, just out of habit, not because I want it, I think grazing will be a big issue for me if I let it. I've already started water loading, I am finding that I am taking in MUCH less calories this way, and I have side effects [that IMO are helpful] that I wasn't having, i.e. yesterday I took my daughter to a indoor play ground for several hours - I drank 12 ounce protein shake before we left at 11:30 ish, 16.9 ounces of water and a 8 ounce unsweetened hot tea while we were there, and at 3 when we left I hadn't eaten anything or really thought to - I promised to take her to McD's and I don't like their salads anymore, so I stopped at a local salad bar on the way. I got a few pieces of chicken and a salad with feta cheese dressing. I took one bite of DD's fries, and then a quick [read: probably didn't chew enough because it hasn't been an issue for the most part] bite of chicken and then I sat there in McD thinking I was going to THROW UP in public and not knowing what to do. I've only thrown up once at home from leftover fish ... I ended up spitting into a napkin [{/shame} hoping no one noticed - thank Maude it's such a tiny amount!] ... but I wasn't hungry to eat BEFORE or AFTER that, and I knew I had to try to eat SOMETHING cause it was 4pm by then ... after I got home [too risky to try again at McD], I had a few bites of salad and a couple of ounces of cheese, and then started drinking again [about 20 ounces of lite limeade/water mix]. I was way under calories and short on protein so I had to make it up with 16 ounces of milk because I didn't WANT to eat. Anyhow, I've rambled, what I'm saying it that the water loading really seems to work for me to keep me feeling full and satisfied [for the most part - I was a little bit sad NOT to eat, KWIM?]. I'm always a flake, though, so I can't blame that on the surgery. xosm
