Rosie, has been bad, so she is going on a all liquid diet for the next 6 weeks. I dont want to get back to where I was before this surgery, so I am taking matters into my own hands, and stopping it RIGHT NOW. I have done 15 minutes on the exercise bike, and will try to get the other 15 minutes in tonight, as I didnt get it in last night. I have gained 5 pounds since Sunday, and I want to lose not gain. So I am going to do the clear liquids for 3 days with sf jello, and then on the 4 th day I will add a protein shake once a day, for 3 more days. That will trip my system into thinking I am not eating and will let go of the fat, maybe, Hope everyone has a good weekend. It has starting to sleet here, suppose to get sleet and snow this weekend, so I will be staying close to home. Take care everyone Kathleen

Kathleen, so sorry about your weight gain. I have been struggling with about a 1.5 pounds up and down for about 2 weeks and it is making me mad. I have just started going back to curves and using my excercise bike at home so maybe that will help. I also over do on the sugar free, skimmed milk, decaf mochas during the week so must curtail them. If that doesn't work, I am with you about the plateau buster diet! I am 4 pounds from onederland and can't seem to get there!!! Julia

tentative: breakie: protien shake Like Jenn I like the worldwide ones too but they were out of the 35gr I had a 21 gram on instead S: a couple slices of mango L: left over pork tenderloin with feta on a bed of lettuce S: probably either more fruit (that is all my body wants) or some cheese D: dunno it's friday who knows.. DH and I are at a war.. we've been married 3.5 years and together almost 6. It's always been I cook (he hates to) he cleans.. well his idea of cleaning and mine are 2 different things.. HIS whatever goes in the dishwasher gets washed.. who needs everything else? MINE??? EVERYTHING. I have been boy cotting it and letting it pile and pile and pile.. gross I know.. but dirty dishes are the one thing that really turns my stomach off these days.. doesn't matter if it's an hour or a day old.. morning sickness is a funny beast. SO I keep cooking he keeps washing plates and ignoring the rest.. I am running out of pots and pans. I might end up with tuna salad my kid might get PB&J and he might starve till dishes are done /rant over/

btw this is a silent war.. no nasty words.. just who is more stubborn.. I always win that battle

I have decided to name my pouch Lucy - after Lucielle Ball. She's a bit on the fiesty side..so is my pouch.. thinks she can get whatever she wants.......well she did today! I was REALLY REALLY bad.. I'm too ashamed to even post. ... I blame it being...just one of those days. Lucy has been better today (Saturday). April and Lucy

Welll well welll little Lucy!!! Ethel and you need to get together...or April and Joan get together and teach you two a little thing or two. What do you say April? Glad today was a alittle better. Your smile makes me so happy when I look at your pic. Have a great Sunday! I love Sunday's...time with my family and church family together. Always great....not sure about food yet for tomorrow but it should be nice enough to grill out again. Thanks for keeping us informed with Lucy! In His love, Joan M
