HI PAM!
as you know from our recent chatting i am in a very similar boat as you!
WHY the heck does food rule my life so much! I hate it . I think i finally went over board and got totally sick from some naughty cookies i ate the other day, i dumped
and was so glad i did because that will help me to stay on track and not keeping slipping something here and there. SO im hopeing that will get me on track.
SUE, in talking with pam last night cause i get sick from foods rather often ( the ones im supposed to eat....and she suggested that i take papaya enyzme before my meals she knew of someone useing them for foods that dont sit right. SO maybe you can benefit from this as well being they dont want you to loose anymore weight.
JUST a thought i have to try it myself..thing is would like to loose more weight so who
konws.
SO i am remindeing myself today "I TOO AM A GASTRIC BYPASS PATIENT and i NEED TO BEHAVE LIKE ONE", this is a way of eating for life.
whos next????
PS: i am gonna be gathering with my OH NY forums friends today for a holiday gathering. I am very much looking forward to this gathering! AT least I know this party will be WLS friendly and not filled with temptations there will be plenty for
me to have

Pam,
Sounds like you have had a difficult time lately. I guess we all must face our own old demands with food! I have been grazing.....can't seem to curb it! I am still okay with my weight...in fact my surgeon and PCP want me to gain weight! I am down to 120 pounds and I had to promise them that I would lose any 4 pounds ago.....so that means I am down 4 pounds since I saw them last. They think that I am anorexic...but they don't see me eat. Granted I don't eat much but I do eat.
typical day.....
1/2 container of yogurt for breakfast with a couple of spoonsful of granola sprinkled on....then I have a salad with 2 oz of turkey and about 1/8 cup of cheese crumbles around 4. I have about 6 strawberries around 9 and then maybe 4 fat free wheat thin crackers with natural peanut butter on them.
I end up in the bathroom if I eat anything with fat in it. I also dump with sugar. I even have trouble with the sugar alchohol making me sick. I can only eat turkey...everything else makes me throw up or gives me the runs......so what do they expect me to do?
Sorry to go on but you asked how I am coping!
Hope that you have a great holiday season!
Sue

Topic: Checking in and owning up ....
Hey gang,
A lot of us have disappeared. I'm guessing for lots of reasons.
I have been really struggling. FOOD. AUGH. WHY must it rule my life?????
I have been soooooooo bad....so far off the straight and narrow.
Yesterday I ate:
Venti SF Vanilla Latte
Banana
6" sub (the whole thing!!!!)
Salt N Vinegar chips
SEVEN (that's SEVEN!!!) pepperidge farms oatmeal raisin cookies (130 cal EACH)
another banana
TWO plates of fruit
and a bag of dark chocolate M&Ms
That's just an EXAMPLE of how I've been acting lately. Of course, I didn't want to get on the scale. But I made myself get on it this morning. Guess what? I gained 5 pounds!!
So today, I tried much harder to be good and i'm proud of myself today.
I made a wrap (these wraps have 13g protein, 8 fiber, 7 net carbs, 140 calories) Add ham n cheese and these things are PACKED with protein.
on the wrap, i put: deli ham, cheese, and a tiny bit of chipolte ranch. I rolled it up and cut it into four sections. I put two sections in a container and took both containers to work, along with a low carb yogurt.
At 10:30 I ate two sections (or half a wrap) at about 2:30, i ate the other two sections. At 4:00, I ate my yogurt. At 5:00 I had two hershey kisses (ok not perfect - but I gave ALL the rest of them AWAY) and for dinner, I made another wrap and ate 1/3 of the wrap and gave the rest to my son. And i'm still alive.
I have GOT to get back on track - it's so easy to forget that this is for LIFE sometimes. Especially when we are surrounded by people who are not like us. We begin to conform to those around us. We just CAN'T allow that to happen. (I'm pointing fingers allllll in my own face here). Suddenly, I have to remind myself "I am a gastric bypass patient and i need to behave like one"
How is everyone else coping right now? We need to bond together find strength in numbers!!
hugs,
Pam
