I have been busy with caring for a sick husband but I got my butt outside also in the yard today. It's to nice to be stuck in the house Spring is in the air and I'm loving it. Donna 338/237 -101

No secrets my dear Since February I have not had a real meal because my husband has been so sick. I take a mouthful of this or that and out the door I go. I have not stopped between working, Doctors and hospitals. Today was the first day since February that I actually ate a meal. Once small Chicken leg and two mouthfuls of cream style corn and I'm full, stuffed to the brim. I have been taking my Flinstones faithfully everyday, might have missed a few days. I was lucky if I got a 1/2 cup of food in me in a day. I know it's not healthy to eat this way but I'm getting myself back on track now. I also have a very active job where I'm on my feet non stop. I climb, lift and run between two floors so I truly believe my job contributes to helping me drop the weight. My husband came home from the hospital today and I can now rest knowing he is home and I'm able to care for him. When I went to visit my husband his nurse scolded me for eating a small bag of potatoe chips as she knew I had WLS. I agreed it was not healthy but it was better then starving to death. My intestines where hurting so I had to feed them. In all honesty I have to force myself to eat most the time. I don't care for food anymore Donna 338/237 -101

Hi Missy Vera, I have to say, that you hit the nail on the head! I was outside all day yesterday! Enjoying my new lease on life. My kids had a bunch of friends over and I was "puttzing" around with cleaning out planters, etc. I have been reading the posts the last week or so, but only responded here or there because it is usually late at night by the time I get on the computer. The days are getting easier, but I still have days where I am just NOT hungry! Most days I do great, though with protein and water. I use Myoplex lite protein bars to supplement when needed. They are from GNC. I hope you are well and God Bless you and all of the December babies! Love, Fran

Yup.... I, too, have been guilty of ignoring the computer and spending my time enjoying the beautiful weather. I cleaned my yard and my hot tub...then I soaked in the hot tub to catch some sun. Can't wait until it is warm enough to open the pool. I am so ready for it. Me and my size 18 bathing suit ! I have a draw full of size 24 - 28 suits that will never fit again and I am so happy about that. What would make this a perfect spring.... I am looking to buy a bicycle. Having a bike would make this a perfect spring. Boy, how I miss being able to ride and I know I can do it now. Weekly blessings to all my WLS friends. Karen G 294 / 228 / ???
