SATURDAY ACCOUNTABILITY

Well, boo-boo and i are still dealing with the tummy virus. So not a lot to report here today. I've been able to eat a few crackers, drink hot tea and water, and nibbled on a little bit of Turtle chex mix - for some reason I'm craving the sweet N Salty stuff. PROBABLY because I'm a bit dehydrated. I can honestly tell you that protein is just NOT an option today. My scale DROPPED to 123 - that was this morning - and I'm still dealing with the bug. That tells ya wha****er weight does to you.....or in this case, dehydration. Now, I'll admit, that's the lowest number i've seen on the scale since I was 12 years old and it was kind of cool to see....but I really don't want to be any less than 125 and I know it will fly right back on soon as i'm over this sickness. I hope everyone else is doing better today! Hugs, Pam

feel better soon, girlfriend!!! now cmon, just cuz your sick, that means no starbucks??? LOL i am headed there soon, i will think of you! i still need to eat more though. i had a venti iced ff sf vanilla latte and will probably be having another one very soon! i went to my parents for dinner and i did eat probably close to a cup of chili and a slice of bread and butter. that was around 4:30 and was the first thing i ate today! i felt very jittery and forced myself to eat the whole bowl! it took me awhile, but i did it. i still felt shaky after though and my mom made me eat about 6 m&m's. LOL that did the trick though, the jitters went away! i need to try harder to fit in another meal. eating once a day is not good, i know. one day at a time.... hugs~mary jo

Hey MJ~ Nice to see you posting! We've missed you! Hugs, Kerri

Hi Pam~ Sorry to hear that you're still not feeling up to par. The 120's~ holy cow!! I haven't seen those since I was in middle school!!! I did, however, break into the 170's this morning...another number I haven't seen since I was in my early years of college! I was pretty stoked to finally have broken the 180's where I've been stuck for 2 months. I did fair today with my eating~ double protein drink, few bites of steak, small piece of halibut, some nuts, a piece of sf chocolate, a couple of T of bean dip/few pita chips. I'll probably have another single shot of protein this evening after my walk. Almost all vits, calcium, and B-12 are in...need 1 more. Gotten about 45-50 oz. of liquid in so far. Played an hour of racquetball~ was Waaaaay off of my game today. Will be doing a 3 mile walk/run in an hour or two. Hope you and your son are feeling happy and healthy soon! Hugs, Kerri

Hi Pam. Sorry to hear that you are feeling sick with that tummy virus. Just do the best you can and try to get some nutritious food in. Once you're better, then focus in on your protein. I hope you feel better soon! My Saturday accountability is not good as I had some not so nutritious food, like buttery cookies and splurged on a chocolate sundae (small) with nuts, no whip cream at Dairy Queen. I can say that I didn't feel good after eating the sundae; it was a bit much for me. I felt like but only felt sick to my pouch. I won't do that again! Today, I'm back on basics.... Take care and rest! Hugs, Lucy 484.8/383.4/163.4/160 pre-surg/surg day/current/goal
