I had my surgery on the 28th of Sept. I am not sure how it should be going.  I do get discuraged at times.  My biggest problem is trying to eat and drink enough.  Water does not taste the same.  i used to drink a lot of water..

I am still sore.  I cannot takethe pain med. I was given.  have been off liquid Tylenol for twos days.  I feel sore at times.  The incessions are starting to itch and pull.

I have lost 15.6 pounds in less then two weeks.  Is that good?

Hi Gang!

Sorry been absent a while... having some crazy weeks lately with work extras and speaking at groups etc.  Staying busy as always...

How are you all doing?

I am doing ok, weight wise could be better but could be worse.  I am not complaining.  140 naked.  I want to be at my lowest but again won't complain.   I restarted therapy to help me.  I also took the MMPI (that test to see if I have any psych issues... ugh)  I have generalized anxiety and some mild reoccuring depression at times.  Makes sense honestly.  I am currently being treated and things being tweaked.

I also got started on topomax, its a drug to help me resolve carbohydrate cravings and differentiate between head and real hunger.  It does work!  I like it.  I just got increased on the dose on that one from 25 to 50mg so we will how that goes.

Nothing else really new to report otherwise.  I am leaving to go to boston to visit another RNY friend on the 19th of october for a week then to KC to spend some time with my family (couple days).  I will be in salem, mass some before halloween, FUN!  Looking forward to it!

Let me know what is new with all of you!

HUGS
Hugs, Melissa

Sorry you had a bummer week, maybe you will be able to lose during vacation.  And flop the flip.   The flu and the 5 day pouch test helped me get back on track but the grazing is still a problem.  At least I got myself away from the scariest part of what I regained and nw it feels a lot more 'do-able'.

Weather has turned here and after a bad week at work I could just dive right into carbs but will try to be sensible this weekend.  Going to make a big pot of taco soup, hope that will be enough carbs. 

Have a good (controlled) weekend, everybody1

Marsha, good for you giving WW a try with your family.  Sounds like a good support system! 

When i do the pumpkin pie I use the Libby's can recipe except I make it with nonfat canned milk, egg beaters instead of eggs and splenda instead of the sugar.  Doesn't have as high of volume as a sugar pie but you still get that wonderful holiday taste.  I don't eat the crust because the fats in it make me dump.  And I'm not gonna make a pie with a weirdo crust just so I can eat crust...yuck.  Then I can take those extra saved calories and pile the sugar free whipped topping on just like I used to do with regular cool whip back in the day.  Gives me the same satisfaction plus no guilt.  It's a win/win!

You aren't kidding about the apple dishes.  I have trouble even staying legal around Melissa's legal apple crisp.  What I did this year was to take the fresh apples (at great prices!) and make freezer pies.  So far I have 4 pretty pies in the freezer and then next week I'll add some sugar free pumpkin pies out there too and a few apple crisps.  I read on the internet about a lady who made 12 pies in autumn and froze them so they'd have one pie a month.  That seems like a very reasonable distribution of calories don't you think?  You get your treat, enjoy it but know it is just once a month.

I have had 2 not so good days and trying to get back on track again..I realized making apple pie and apple crisp are not a good thing to do:(
Wednesday to still 3 1/2 days away so I can get back on track and hopefully do well:)

Woohoo Diana!  What are you doing differently?  Keep doing it whatever it is and have a great weekend.  I want to be able to report a good weigh in next Wednesday so I'll be trying too.
