Not Only Did I FALL off the Wagon...IT RAN ME OVER! Geesh!

I have an AWESOME Maryland Cream of Crab soup recipe -- thick and spiced up MD sytle.  It's heavy and rich, don't make it often becuase of all the calories, but just 1/2 cup satisfies like no other soup in the world!  I'll post it when I get home.  Nothin' like some crab & Old Bay for MD girls! 

(((Hugs))) I am so sorry you had to endure that but I am glad you got through it. Your right tomorrow is a new day. Keep your chin up. ;o) We ALL have bad days honey, you will be okay. ;o)

yuck... you poor thing!  Hope you're feeling better soon!

Well all today is starting off better.  Trying desperately to up my fluids as with all my recent debacles the scale is stuck.  My pain has subsided from yesterday and sticking to my liquids today.

I'm having my NAKED for breakfast and it's a little gritty - eh so I put it on some ice hoping it will water down. 

You can buy NAKED brand at most grocery stores. Yesterday I had an AMAZING Chai Spiced Cider.  Again all natural but with natural sugars.  It's apple juice with a chai flavoring (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves)  Well I decided I was going to try to make this for home and got the splenda apple juice and plan on simmering some with the spices in a crockpot this weekend.  WOO HOO my Halloween Treat :)  And hopefully my house will smell yummy mummy too :)

Ok back to work for now.

Check in soon...countdown to my next fill...5 days!

Nikki,

I HATE HATE HATE protein drinks.  but i have to have at least 1 a day and some days 2 to get my protein in.     I also have to keep my sugar really low or I will get sick... so to make myself happy I have learned to DOCTOR my protein by using the sugar free syrups for the milkshake like ones or crystal light for the fruity ones.

THE ONLY protein I can tolerate is the Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel and then it has to be ICE COLD and in a  sports bottle so I can't smell it.


I love the Walmart Brand of Apple drink (like Crystal light tubes)....  I get it at the Walmart in Arbutus (it's not at every walmart you have to look for it)

Nessa I am the same with protein drinks.  I think about drinking one and I get sick before I even sip it.  I really really wish I could find one that worked.  I no longer can tolerate EAS or Atkins and most other brands you get in GNC or Vitamin Shoppe are so protein tasting.  I can't even do the fruit ones ESPECIALLY Isopure...UGH.

I actually just added water to this NAKED one and I bet it will take me all morning to drink it.

i think I am going to try the muscle milk light and see how that goes.  I'd rather have a Zone Bar but not for a few days! 

Nikki -

I feel your pain.  Even at 4 years post-op, I still struggle with the internal demons.

It WILL get easier, right now, it's just a learning process.

Don't completely discount ANY food - wls is a tricky thing - what likes you one day may not the next and vice versa.  Just keep plugging along and it will all come together.

Hugs,

Tia

Hi Nikki...

Man.......I am sorry to hear that you got sick...It is so hard, but, we all had to change the way we think about foods...I had a wonderful vomiting experience yesterday and on something I have eaten/tasted before...I don't get it...but out it came....

Oh well...Live and Learn :)

Take care and i hope you feel better

Just curious, what did you eat that made you sick?  I'm just waiting for it to happen to me.

Believe it or not...I had a single egg over...and a half of whole wheat toast...I have eaten it before and had noooo problems...I guess that day my pouch was being picky...

Other than that...No dumping...I am very careful...just some vomiting...(total of 4 times since surgery)

I am glad to hear that you have not experienced anything like that, but, mannnn...when it doe****you know you will be getting sick...it is almost immediate... (at least for me it is)
