OMG have to Go back to basics

I know I picked up some weight due to fbroids, and ovary cysts, and have a hysterctomemy scheduled for April 9th. I know that I have been grazing, eating the wrong things, in general screwing up. I am planning to go back to the liquid diet I had to do pre op. Didn't kill me, didn't even wound me. Haven't been drinking the amount of water I am supposed to either. I bought a bunch of flavored , calorie free sparking water today. just gotta do do it

Maureen, Hi and how are you? I have gone back to basics also. I find now after 3 years of post-op I can digest so much better. There are many things I still can't eat. I have taken alot of stuff out of the house and I am drinking alot of the Orange Wallmart brand of Crystal Light. It tastes great. I have also bought alot of portion control packs of stuff. I love those 100 calorie packs. I know when I am finished with it that is it.I have gained about 10 pounds over the 3 years. I am not going to be too hard on myself. I have come a long way. I still can wear size 8 but it feels snug. Yes we got to do what we have to do. Good Luck to you girl to us. Lorraine

Hi Maureen, I'm back to basics too. It seems since I got my gall bladder out last year, I've been able to eat a little more food at mealtime. I'm still below the surgeon's goal....but not by much. I slacked on my walking, too. I think that is my major issue because I don't seem to consume a lot of calories. Anyway....you are right....just gotta do it! luvitsunnyv
