Wednesday Morning Coffee Talk

Good Wednesday morning everyone!  Time to rise and shine!  The week is half over and it's all downhill toward the weekend now.   Our challenge for today is to remember to chew chew chew.  When we eat, sometimes we go back to our old habits and we take BIG bites and swallow.  We can't do that any more.  We have to take small bites and we have to chew.  Remember to chew everything good today.  We gotta stay with the program.  I am almost 4 years out and I saw my Surgeon for my 1 year check up yesterday.  He reminded me of all the basics.  So let's do this!  If we do, we will maintain and stay on track.  I have maintained and stayed the course for 4 years and if I can.  JUST CHEW TODAY!! So, who's up?  What cha sipping on?  me?  I'm enjoying some awesome Elvis coffee my sweet baby gave me.  I sure do miss her.  I can't wai ttill she gets here next Friday!  It'll be good to see her. Ya'll have a wonderful and blessed Wednesday as you CHEW CHEW CHEW!!  I sound like a train today!  HEHEHEHEHE  On another note, I saw the foot Dr. also yesterday and it's crutches for another 9 days.  The foot looks great and NO infection!  WOO HOO!  The wounds are healing, but he wants me off of it for 9 more days sooooo.........

Good Morning!!!! I will chew chew chew today. This is something I've been working on already, so this is a good reminder!!!!!

Hope the foot keeps healing well.

Have my morning coffee beside me

Have a great day!!!!!

This is a good reminder!  I sometimes catch myself wanting to do just gobble the food down like I used to, but then I remember that if I do I will be in a lot of pain and will end up getting sick, which I really hate.  Glad to hear that your foot is doing better!  I am just sippin on a SF grape drink.  Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

It would be SO WONDERFUL if, after all the practicing before surgery, the actual WLS caused those new habits to actually BECOME habits??!!  I know I do a pretty good job MOST of the time, but I really do wish the chewing thing would become as ingrained in my brain as 45 years of wolfing did!  I have only dumped twice, but I have gotten myself stuck a NUMBER of times because of not chewing thoroughly enough!   Including Monday night, on a salad, of all things.  Argh...   My daughter looked at me and said  "you need to hurl, don't you".  I said "Of course not!  I'm fine!"  And then I went upstairs and - uh... removed the offending bits.  She can tell before I'm even in touch with it!  Grrr.... So to any pre-ops reading this?  PRACTICE CHEWING YOUR FOOD TO SMITHEREENS!!!  The surgery doesn't help one bit in that department...

Good Morning Randall hope you have a wonderful day!! I will think more about chewing...I know sometimes I don't chew as long as I should. I am going to be more aware of that. Glad your foot os better! Sipping water this morning....on my way to Caribou real soon!! Hugs, connie d
