Sunday Sleep In

So where is everyone this morning?

I have been up for a while with Nick.  There is absolutely nothing in the house to eat, so I'm waiting for hubby to get up so I can go to the grocery store.  Pre-op, I would have fried up 3 potatoes with cheese and sour cream and told myself I had to eat it because there wasn't anything else in the house.

So, the QOTD is: What is something you don't do anymore that you did frequently before surgery, or before starting your weight loss journey (ugh, I hate that term, it's way overused!)

Mine would be mindlessly shoveling in whatever food I could get my hands on, just so I would feel full. 

I hope you all have a great Sunday!

I looked on here probably three times this morning looking for a Sunday thread.  I was on the OFF forum and decided to open one on the Michigan Forum.  Lo and behold you had just done it!  Thanks.
I think my biggest problem was eating when I was bored or watching TV.  I won't be doing that anymore.
Down 8 lbs since Thursday is incentive for me.  4 days til surgery.  I know you guys are getting sick of my countdown, but just bear with me...

Jan

No, we're not sick of your countdown!  We've all been there before, so we get it.
Nothing wrong with being excited!!!

I agree with Brenda!  We've all done the countdowns....to surgery, tt's, appointments, BABY, etc.  We don't mind at all!  We're excited for you, too! 

Nobody is sick of you countdown.  We are excited for you!  You were there routing for me and I want to be here for you too!

Hi Brenda,

    There are so many things I don't do or do differently now than before. Almost as many as the things I can do now that I couldn't do before. The #1 thing I do not do anymore is go to fast food places. I am trying to out them out of business, it seems. #2 would be no more Diet Coke, which I use to drink all day from the moment I woke up until the moment I went to bed. I even use to keep a can or bottle of Diet Coke on my night stand.
   I hope that all is well with you. Jani, congrats on your up coming surgery.
Best wishes,
Nick

I was trying to take a nap with Dub, but he only slept for about 20-30 minutes, so my nap was cut short.  Otherwise, I've been up since about 7:30, made breakfast, etc.  So, a nap was in order!

We hit a milestone this week....DADDY CHANGED HIS FIRST DIAPER, EVER!!  LOL!!  He's changed a total of 3 this week.  Now that I know he can do it, he's not getting out of it anymore! 

QOTD:  Good question.  I NEVER used to share my food.  I know that sounds stupid, but I would get SO mad if someone (like my hubby) would just eat something off my plate without asking.  Now, I couldn't care any less.  I guess before I was too consumed with having it all to myself.  Now, I know I'll be full before I even get close to finishing food, especially if we are out at a restaurant.  I guess that's a better thing than before surgery when I kinda "hoarded" the food on my plate! 

Wow, can I relate to the sharing food thing.  I always felt guilty about it, but the feeling was there anyway.  I wanted it all, plus some, especially if I really liked it.
I'm looking forward to not wanting to finish everything on my plate, and not being able to.  Lately it has amazed me how much food I can actually put away.  A few weeks ago hubby and I ate a whole Costco roasted chicken in one sitting.  Love that chicken!!
Jan

umm Jan, I eat an entire chicken post RNY.  I used to grab one on my way home from work cuz it was an hours drive.  That way I wouldnt be tempted to stop at a fast food joint.  Yep, imagine me, sitting in a traffic jam on 696 with a big ole drumstick in my hand waving it at traffic, cussing, texting, im-ing, emailing, crashing...... The local news would report:  "we believe that chicken played a part in this accident...."

hey, we need protein, right???

Been there done that!  I am still trying to break the 50 year hoarding habit.  I have hoared since a child.  My first baby sitting job I used the money to, you got it, buy food and hoard it.  While other girls bought maku-up and stuff.  I haven't broken it yet, even though I can't eat it I still have to "save it".  One day I hope I'll get so tierd of throwing out old food I'll get it thru my head
