NEENER-NEENER-NEENER!!! YOU MISSED IT!!!
I can't even figure out what has me down. I waited for months for work to pick up for something to keep me busy and now that it has, I just want to go home!
I hate being away from my family, but I have always hated that but for some odd reason not being home on Mother's Day (I haven't been for 7 years now...) has turned me into a cry baby the past few days.
I could go on and on... Oh, and my wildtree business is not taking off as well as I wanted it to. I had booked my first party for this weekend, and the lady hosting's son had a major meltdown yesterday (foster child) and she is needed elsewhere on Saturday and she cancelled on me. I totally can understand her priorities, but it has kicked me harder than it should have that I am not going to make a sales goal I set for myself.
I have been having the urge to graze continously since Sunday night, and it is driving me insane. I know I can't possibly be hungry. I know I can eat more thanI should be able to at one time (entire protein bar...) as long as it is not meat, and I am mostly hitting my protein goals, but I am sick of cheese now as well as eggs. I have been on a protein bar kick and need to find more varieties than the South Beach cinnamon raisin before I wear that out as well.
Just a whole lot of things...

Awww! Don't discount the hormones, they can really do a number on you and make you hyper-sensitive to things.
Where does your family live? Do you have or can you get a webcam so you can still "be" with your family?
Unfortunately, and I don't need to tell you this - this is a rough time to begin a new business. Even though I like Wildtree's products, to me, they're a luxury, and there are precious few of those in anyone's lives right now.
It's hard to tell how much you SHOULD be able to eat - it varies with everyone and often, depends upon WHAT you're eating. Those SB bars aren't really DENSE protein, so I can actually see how you could eat a whole bar.
You've got to expand your horizons a little, food-wise, and start experimenting. There is more to post-op life than eggs and cheese. You need to try more meats - they're denser and will keep you full longer.
I know it feels like everything's crashing down on you, but you're doing an awesome job in the weight loss department!!
Hang in there, honey!
Hugs,

Working on experimenting... but with work at the moment, getting home after 8:30 and I don't even feel like cooking - so it tends to be fast stuff - which for Lee is easy, he can still eat quick heat up meals... For me, so far it has been whatever I can grab - eating a whole of healthy choice soups for dinner. Breakfast has been meatballs almost every day, however I had left over soup from last night this morning... It is the snacks and lunches that are boring - Cheese and crackers, lunchmeat, cottage cheese, eggs, bore me... but to be honest they did before surgery. At least the protein bars get me 10g in one shot.
Any better suggestions for brands of protein bars? My NUT said the SB or to just try some and read labels.
The weight loss dept is about all I am happy with right now! I just want to be below 350 next Wednesday... I admit, I would have liked to say 327, just to say I lost 100 pounds before I go "home" but I have to be a bit more reasonable than that.... (I may be emotional, but have not totally lost my sanity!)
Most of my family aren't online, my parents live in the middle of nowhere... My Grandma plays games online, but doesn't do the webcam or anything like that... Just gotta keep telling myself I am going home on the 15th...
