The Q for the day ........ Do you think that your surgery is the cure for your weight ? If so do you stick to you meal plans?
For me...... If I was to fall off the meal plans I would be 400 lbs. again... The band lets you do the thing you don't need to do. That is what gives it a bad name. It's the people that fail not the band....
Hope everyone is not snowed in.. If you are Get outside and shovel the walk It's so good to be outside !!!!
Got some snow last night but not as much as everyone said. Doesnt bother me much.
I am shocked I finally slept in till 8am!!! I woke up and thought I was late for work.lol
QOTD- I dont think the surgery is the "cure" but a tool you need to utilize. It helps me not to pig out like I used to BUT I do watch what I eat....BUT I am not depriving myself of anything. If I want a cookie- I will eat one. If I deprive myself, I will crave it and then what!!
Today I am sealing the other part of my kitchen floor and get a haircut and the store and laundry here and there.
Stay warm all!!

[. . .yawn. . .] It's morning already?
Same old thing in my cup too, Randy - Dunkin' decaf & skim milk.
The way I look at it, to go through a year of structured weight loss, all the pre-op testing, anxiety over approval and the actual surgery, it's not worth it to chuck it out the window. I have blinders on when it comes to my meal plans. I was given this gift, a tool to work with, and I'm sure not going to turn my back on it. If this surgery is any type of cure, it's a cure for my mind.
Not that much snow here, but I'm staying in the house. My dirty rat bas**** ex has me back in court tomorrow asking for yet another reduction in spousal support. I have to write out what I want to say because I get all flustered in front of the judge and can't remember even my name unless I have it written down in front of me.
It's a beautiful sunny day - everyone enjoy it!
on to your destination.
Not doing much today. Going to run and get a mattress for the crib. Got all the painting done and furniture put together. I have to do some school work later, but not much. Finish up the laundry. So, easy day!
Back to work tomorrow, but only 7 weeks til Spring Break.
The only way I feel that surgery was a "cure" FOR ME, was the fact that I can't eat AS MUCH! That was my biggest problem. For example, can I still eat a whole pizza "for dinner"? NO! But I still eat pizza. I just have one slice, instead of one pizza. It' different for EVERYONE!

I'M drinking hot tea this am I need the caffeine kick. We got 5 in. I suspect hubby will be out showing the boys how to pu**** around with the tractor. Boys and their toys.
The teens have an all day thing with their church. I think hubby the toddlers and I are headed to Lapeer for a model train show.
I don't think surgery is a cure. I consider it a tool to help me keep things in control. I still need to do the work and pay attention to how much I eat. I admit I eat pretty much what ever I want anymore except for white stuff. I just pay attention to how much sugar and fat grams I eat.
Stay warm and have a great day everyone.
Morning everyone! Yes, we got slammed yesterday that was for sure......let me elaborate :-) My daughter goes to school at EMU in Ypsi. She came home Friday so she could do laundry and go out to dinner with me Friday night since I started my liquid diet today. She was heading back Saturday morning because four of them were leaving for spring break. When I got up Sat morning I woke her up and told her it had already started to snow she had better get on the road soon because we were supposed to get a lot. Then I took my other son to the dr and got home around 11:00. Again, I said, Katie, the roads are getting horrible out there I don't want you driving back in this mess" Of course I got the "I'll be fine mom" Shortly after 1:00 she took off to go back. She called me when she got on 75 south and said 'it's not too bad, there's one lane open".
Well 10 minutes later my cell phone rang again and it was her. She said 'mom, I've been in an accident' She apparently started to fish tail down I-75 and eventually did a 360 and slammed into the median. She did not get hurt, THANK GOD!! And thank god nobody behind her slammed into her. She said she was only going 40 mph which IMO was way to fast for the road conditions. I should have never let her go in the first place. I am so thankful she is okay and it is just her car that got hurt
So this morning we got up at 4:30 and I drove her down to Ypsi so she could still go on spring break with the girls. We were a little gun shy, driving about 55 mph most of the way, but the roads we still not completely cleared. Nothing like yesterday though! I was amazed at how much better the roads were the farther south we got. So I've been in the car the last 5 hours b/c I dropped her off and headed back home :-)
Anyways, sorry to ramble......
I am drinking water right now (already got 44 oz down on my road trip) this morning. I just had my first protien drink. OMG, it was not bad at all :-) It sure was filling! I have to drink 3 shakes, a fiber drink and a soup today, along with at least 44 oz of water.
Do I think this surgery is going to be a 'cure all' . Nope, not at all. I have lost more than 100 lbs four different times in my adult life.....only to gain it back each time and more. So for me, I think the losing part will be easy, it's the maintaining I scared to death about.
Stay safe everyone!

I had a protein shake,again. I'm at day 13 of the 15 day liquid diet, I still haven't lost anything on it. I was suppose to lose 10 to 20 pounds. So, bumming here. Lost of snow, DH has already cleared the drive ways with the tractor. He did a couple of the neighbors too.
QOTD: today is a bad day to aks that I'm feeling like it might not even help. Just having a feel sorry for myself day. It may be the doc changing my meds for BP.
