Eatin' Good.....Tuesday's still rainy

Evening all....it has been a weird day here, for certain.  I went in early for my CT scan and got to have my drain removed....YIPPEE!  I don't have that nasty thing hanging out of my body anymore....now it feels strange to NOT to have it there!  But I still have a pocket of fluid where my gall bladder was and they don't want to risk draining it since it is in a sensitive place and I'm not having any issues.  But I have to watch for pain and fever and call my doc immediately if anything starts up.  But I feel so good to have it out!

Outta bed....nada since I wasn't sure what they were going to do to me at the hospital.

Lunch...1/2 a burger (all the meat, half of the bun) at Culver's, a few bites (well, more than a few but less then several) of my hubbies concrete.

Snack...protein bar

Another snack....1 slice deli cheese, 4 crackers  (darn carbs)

Dinner....no clue, yet.  Not really hungry and since I ate so much crap today I should stick to protein...maybe a protein shake. 

I see some of you are having huge issues in your lives right now.  I want to try and respond to most of you tomorrow.  My heart just breaks for those of you who are hurting.   We had some bad news about a cousin suddenly dying today...so my extended family is a mess.  I'm praying for all of you.

How did your eating go today?  Anybody come up with anything new and wonderful?

I did the same ol' same ol'.....lol

Really it is almost a repeat of yesterday except tonight we had chinese food...I ate 4 or 5 large shrimp in lobster sauce and a few bites of rice and almost a whole egg roll. I know that isnt good eating!

I snacked on cashews today so that wasnt too bad plus Ive eaten 2 bananas again...I love them nannors!

I have gotten in all my water already so anything from here on out will be a bonus.

Rick goes to men's ministry meeting tonight so Im sure I will find myself snacking on something while hes gone...usually do.

Peggy did you get Jans email?

GOD is my ROCK!   SUGAR

I think it's comforting when I find a plan that works...and it looks like your's works for you.  Oh, and shrimp sound so good right now....drooling.  And let me see, I bet you snack on....POPCORN!  Did I get it right?  (I remember you saying that you liked it!)

Yep, I got her email and answered.  Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be looking for you all as early as you want that day....and I still am so excited!

Have a nice quiet evening.

Good Morning Peggy Poo!

Thank you for those kind words about my bad behavior!!! ~ha

But you will be glad to know I DID do like a good girl should today... ~ha  I had 50 grams of protein in the shakes..... a half cup of chicken salad, a string cheese, and smoked turkey and cheddar roll up for supper.  I know what was way over the 60 grams of protein must of been closer to the 80 or 90 mark for sure.

I did get all my liquids in and vits too.... but I could only stand to walk the 2.3 miles .... first day I had to cut down in a month at least... I did not walk early enough and had worked 5 hours before I went out there and even the big pain meds did not help.. so will not do that again!

Oh I'm so glad you got that nasty ole drain out!  I will be praying that the fluid collection around your gall bladder will just resolve! 

I'm sorry about the cousin dying... yes there does seem to be so many that are hurting! My heart goes out to them as well.  Oh but isn't it wonderful we have such a great place to go to and there are those that will pray no matter what it is about?!?!

I'm going out there right way and get that walking done while I'm not hurting....

Have a wonderful day!

Back at ya, beautiful!

I know so much about trying to exercise after you've been busy all day, doesn't work!  We haven't gotten back to the gym yet, because of the surgery and all it's fun stuff, but I have to get back into it....and I will need to start all over.  I actually feel well enough to think about getting back, we'll see.

I knew you would make up for your one off day.  You are so committed and I know you don't want to hear this, but you are an inspiration to those here, especailly the newbies who are wondering what in the world they've done to themselves.  I love to see you post.

Hugs,
Peggy

Ok, love....

First off...breathe.  You are under so much stress you are going to burst and I don't want to lose you.  Stress makes us gain and that's what is going on.  Plus the fact that you can't (aren't) eating will make your body go into starvation mode and hold onto everything for security.  Hang in there, remember you lost a lot fast a few weeks ago.  You'll get back there.  Stay off the scale a few days until you get some of these issues resolved.  Love you too much to see you get sick.

Try again today, and if you have to, go back to clear liquids or soups (with no chunks) for a day or two.  I know you hate that but your tummy is in rebellion.  If it doesn't start staying down, you'll need to call your doc.  Can't get dehyrdrated or malnutritioned, ok?

Big hug
