Like the little train that could....

My brain is unfogging..... my strength is coming back and I was up to 114 yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny to jump on the scale and pray for uppies instead of downs.

I get all my nutrional needs for a day with the "forumla" which smells like baby burp up... and anything I eat orally is above that. In all honesty thank God for my old stomach working for me.
I have come to terms with my tube in my tummy.... but will be happy and nervous when its out.

I went from 1100 cal's a day to maintain 122 to just over 2000 to gain. Its tough mentally to be carbing out so much and will look forward to gettng back to my old way of eating when this is over.
Sorry if this is boring I just wanted to share where I was at because you all joined hands and really prayed and sent good thoughts towards me. I felt them all when I was at my worst.

So happy Sunday..... this weather shift has been good mentally for me. Open the windows and yesterday I made a wee fire in the back so the house smelled like a bon fire... So nice!

Hugs friends and much love from me to you.
You are my extended family....

LA,

So glad your getting back to normal......Glad the scale is moving up, what a scary thing to loose that much.

I never realized they could use our old tummy's until your situation.....Glad that it worked out.

I love the bon fire smell........Last weekend we had a wienny roast, I cannot eat them.

So I watched everyone else......That's okay though, I made the best of it.....

I will continue to pray for you. Keep chugging along and pretty soon you'll be flying around....

Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~

I'm so glad you're on the mend! It must be a heckova mind switch to be thinking 'gain' instead of 'lose'!
But you will do fine, and you will end up just where you should be!
