Gastric bypass patient....behaving like one...

Hey everyone! Well, the Christmas party was lots of fun! I did really good with food while I was there. I'm right proud of myself! I had two scallops wrapped in bacon, two meatballs, two crab balls, a little mini-quiche, 3 vodka cranberries, and about four tablespoons worth of chocolate cheesecake. AND I danced, danced, danced. So I think I did okay. I think I'm on a roll with being good. Yesterday: Yogurt a jello a salad with grilled chicken and ranch Banana 1 and a half Alaskan crabs 1/2 cup pineapple cubes (FRESH) Today: I made everyone a big breakfast...scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage gravy & biscuits.... I made a huge bowl of salad....and i pulled some left over turkey out of the freezer and made a big crockpot full of stuff (mixed veggies, kidney beans, mushrooms, turkey, cream of chicken soup and sour cream).... and I made a fruit salad out of the rest of the pineapple and threw in mandarin oranges (packed in juice) and diced peaches (no sugar added, drained). So far today, I've had: 1/2 biscuit with 2 tablespoons sausage gravy 2 Tablespoons of scrambled eggs with cheese a banana 1/2 cup of fruit salad (just from me picking at it while I was making it!) and I'm gonna have some of that turkey crockpot stuff (probably about 1/2 -3/4 cup) and I'm gonna have some more of that ummy yummy fruit salad! and I'm probably gonna run out to try to find a Lazer Tag set for my little one for Christmas....so YOU KNOW I'm stopping at Starbucks for that Venti SF Vanilla Latte! HERE'S THE BEST NEWS OF ALL.......................SCALE'S FIXED! I LOST THE FIVE POUNDS THAT I GAINED!!!!!!!! I'm 125 again!!! Woooo Hoooo!!!! I know I haven't been "perfect" - but I'm so thankful to be able to get a hold of myself and be in control again. Those chocolate bars do NOT have more will power than I do... they have NO power over me! Hang in there friends!!!! We can do this thing!! For life, Pam

I guess I should have read this post first! LOL! I am glad you had fun. Those office parties are lot's of fun. I wish we had one for Christmas time for my hubbies job. At the hospital all we do is potluck on the day of the holiday. I am not even working that day! Like I said in your last post, my last night was crappy, but back on the wagon tomorrow! Did pretty good most of last week. Wendy

Great job Pam!! You did waaaaay better than me today. It was our anniversary (12 years! ), and my gift to my husband was making him a meal~ which I seldom do because I don't cook very much. Too many grabs in the white choc. candy cane Hershey kiss bag. We have company coming this year for Christmas, which we don't normally, so I've been more naughty than usual. But, moderation is the name of the game in my book. I'm still losing a bit, 166 now, hoping someday to make it into the 150's but we'll see. Don't know if that will happen before ps or not. Keep up the wonderful work!! You CAN do it! Hugs, Kerri

Hi Pam. I'm proud of you gal. Congratulations on getting those 5 pounds off I haven't been successful in a long time. Today, I'm saying no more excuses! I'm going back to basics. I don't want to waste my plastic surgery outcome. Next week I have to go back to my WLS surgeon and don't want a gain. If I'm still swollen, I won't get weighed. I'm getting scared at this point. I will post daily on my previous day results. Take care! Lucy

Sounds like you are doing much better now! For myself, wellllll......I haven't been the best. Saturday morning I stopped and got donuts for the kids! That was a huge downfall for me. I had 6 of the 12 donuts between saturday and sunday. I never do that kind of crazy crap and eat that many, I don't know what got into me. So I get up this morning thinking I am going to have a great day, behave and have a low carb hig protein kind of day.... I started with a banana before my shower, made a protein shake with a banana after my shower while getting ready for work. Got to work and had the eggs and sausage I made earlier this morning. Was so full I felt like I was going to burst. So I am waiting my time to start drinking my water, instead of drinking the water, I grab a handful of butter cookies (mind you I am stuffed). What the hell was I thinking????? After the cookies, I go for the jelly beans. It like a huge roller coaster once I start, I can't stop. So now I am trying to be accountable for the rest of the day. I packed my lunch and have a good dinner planned. I just hope i can stick to it. Its time for me to be accountable for me. No more excuses. Shelley
