I am single and am not looking, so a libido is not even an issue, but I know some of the people on my local board either go sex mad, almost jumping anyone that moves, or they lose it all completely. No middle ground at all. Weird eh?

I went off the wagon as well this weekend....but back on track today...gonna start with a more "South Beach" type of eating plan. Read the book this weekend and it's a good way of going about it, I think...good lean protein and vegetables mostly...sounds perfect...also, my mother who was doing it for awhile has fallen off so I told her I would do it with her. The hardest part is no wine for 2 weeks...don't know if I can do that! I am gonna try. If I am honest with you all, I think my socializing which always include a couple of drinks is leading the way for me not getting this extra 20lbs off! It just leads to bad food choices and no exercise. Happy hour instead of the gym...ok! Need to break the cycle. On a more positive note...went to the gym both days over the weekend. Worked out really hard and am feeling the burn in my muscles today! Brought my lunch with me to work and am trying to drink fluids. Trish

Hi Andi I'm home with family as we have a holiday today - May Day. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and it's been a beautiful day. Back to work tomorrow though. I too fell off the wagon over the weekend. Today hasn't been too bad, but not good enough. My mind is back to constantly wanting food - I feel like a bottemless pit. The horrible thing is the reason why - and I know it's crazy too. I ate badly partly because I felt I might as well as I gained anyway eating right, but mostly I wanted to punish my body for not responding as it should. See, how crazy is that. My mind knows that, but my emotions/eating didn't listen. BUT, I've come a long way since wls and I know how to get back onto the wagon again. It's only been a few days, so I'm doing damage control this week. No dramatic swings to try and balance things as that will just lead to more exaggerated swings the opposite direction. It's back to eating right, no snacking, pushing protein again tomorrow. I lost this battle, but I'm going to win the war.

the first three months postop my tummy gurgled and made all kinds of noise and then quieted down, that was until about a month ago and then wow.. it is one very noisy little chute. it has been gurgling, grumbling, and MOVING, I get as much movement as I did when I was pg with the last one. very strange indeed.

I'm getting back in the saddle, i derailed myself over the weekend! I have to figure out what to do when I go out to play, i don't want to carry lunch meats with me I want to go out and have fun with the others. What's Monday bringing you? ANDI
