WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY

Another day with no sun, is it ever going to shine again? I know it will but I get so depressed and disgusted when there are so many days in a row without the sun.

At least one good thing, tonight is the COF meeting, It has been 2 months since I have seen everyone, Januarys meeting we were gone on vacation so didn’t get to see anyone .

 

I assume that Tammy is going to be at the meeting , I have written her twice with no answer, so don’t know.

Traci thanks for the clarification about the food and protein drinks etc. I do one protein drink a day and usually have ½ of a protein bar two times a day (they are 42 grams protein ) my main problem is after supper and when I am watching tv. I am just going to have to be mean to myself and stop it .  I guess I can make another protein drink to have  in the evening. I think I will have to print out your list of what you do when and start trying to do all of that . Do you use your 2 or 3 protein drinks a day as part of your fluid requirements too? Or do you use them as a snack or what?

 

Vesta: hope Tracies list helped you too. Just because we are  a year or so out and have lost our weight doesn’t mean that it gets easy does it?

 

Hope to see some of you tonight at the COF meeting.

Hopefully today will be a better day

 

GOD BLESS

 

 

 

 

 

You are soo right,  I thank Traci for helping us...I ordered one of those water bottles because I dont think I get enough water, and I have been doing 1 protein drink so I will up that also.....vesta

Morning everyone I'm ready for some sun too!!  I'm ready to buy my annual flowers and get some color in front of my house!!!  Jan, Vesta and everyone:  I just replied to the other thread I started on Curbing Post-op Hunger with what I eat and when in a typical day.  Hopefully that will help you.  If you want/need more info on the why behind the need for protein shakes, I can post a more detailed post on that.  Just say so.  I kinda assume everyone already knows this, but perhaps not everyone does.  We gotta eat, of course, but our protein needs should come from shakes, the food protein is to fill us up (thus why the dense protein, no drinking with meals, etc...) and does provide calories, but does not provide the protein our bodies need.    That we get from shakes.  Gotta run - I hear my grandbaby coming in the door!  Have a great day everyone!

Hey Jan and All,

   First I would like to thank you Jan for your help earlier today.My unflavored potien powder didn't get here today. My daughter-in -law checked and it said it would be here tomorrow.   Been going up and down the same 2-3 lbs. all week. I took my measurments last Thur. and I am down 14 inches total. So right now I am down 30 lbs. from surgery and 45 from my highest weight. So  I guess that's pretty good, about 10 lbs. a week.   I have an appointment with my PCP in the morning to see if I need to get back on my anti-depressant. I think it was really helping me before surgery. They took me off of it before I left the hospital, but I think I still need it. I also have a few questions to ask her since she has had WLS herself. So I thought she would have some answers for me.She also does the support group here in Kirksville. It was cancelled on Thur. because of weather. I was upset about that.   I got to see my kids and grandkids last weekend. That was so nice! I hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving.They are all doing good. I really think my oldest grandson Shayne has a form of autisum. I have thought so since he was about 18 months old. But now it is getting more apparent.I talked to my son about getting him treated but I don't know if it did any good. They are young parents and don't want to admit anything is wrong with thier son. But I told them that it is better for them to find out now instead of waiting until he starts school and then he would be behind all the other kids.    Well I gotta go get some stuff done and my shows are coming on tv. Take care all and God bless. Tammy V.

I forgot two things I wanted to tell you. One I put some pictures on my profile of when I was in the hospital that my mom took. I will put my before pics up as soon as I get them back. And two I hope you all had a great meeting tonite. I wish I could come to one some time. Thats all, Take care, Tammy V.
