What I learned today...... :o

Hello all....just got home from another over night at the "Wonderful" manor....lol well actually got off at one and then went and played Bingo and then flew to support group with Dr H......oh boy....lol
Ok so I learned today that.....
I would more than likely never strectch my "pouch" out to what it was like before....good to know...
I dont look as sickly this month as compared to last month....LOL thats a good thing....of course I had been haveing the "trots for about a week and a half".....yes that has stopped....else I would be in the good ol hospital...
I dont need to go see him until my regularly schedualed appt in Oct...unless I start to feel like something is wrong.....that's a good thing...
Now this one has me really confussed and have been pondering on this for the last few hours.....
If I would quit smoking then I wouldnt lose as much weight.....hum.....yep that is what's got me scratching my head.....now is that why I was 222 to start out with and maybe that is why I didnt get to be any bigger??? was that why I couldnt lose weight when on a diet?? yea Im not sure that Im buying or understanding that yet....but will indeed be doing some really deep investigating....LOL
Oh and I discovered that Im really not enjoying walking into a room and someone coming up to me and saying " Damn your too skinny"...it really is starting to rub on my last nerve....Sorry had to vent that out....lol
I also learned that I need to get at least 1500 cals in a day.....yea right...and how might I do that.....at 103lbs....ya thats not a type O.....103lbs as of this morning.....All I do is eat, eat, eat......you will see on Wend if I get to go.....Im like a I have a tape worm or something....
Ok Im done learning today.....
Love and Hugs to ya all.....please be nice and dont flame toooo much k....my Skinney body cant take much more....lol

Glad to hear you're doing better.  I've never been a smoker so don't know how it affects weight loss.  What ever is making you lose weight, I would like some.  My losses have slowed to a few a month. 

The mother of a friend of mine quit smoking and has gained a bunch of weight.  She eats now instead of smoking.

Thats what happen to me years ago when I tried to quit then....dont know what would happen now...since I dont eat like I use too...lol
Hugs

Corrine;

We can't win for losing...no pun intended. LOL     Would you have ever dreamed that one day you would be unhappy at anyone saying you were too skinny?  LOL  I really believe your body is confused and doesn't know what to do. I think it will work it's way around and you will find a weight you and your body will be happy with. I wonder about eating so many calories.....wouldn't want this to reverse on you and you start gaining weight. Our bodies get confused really easy. At the same time, I would never tell you to go against Dr.H's instruction.  Just enjoy being small and let Dr H figure everything out. If you feel good that is the most important to me.

Cor i sure hope you get to come Wed i want to give your skinny little body a big hug.  sweetie i dont know how the cig smoking could cause you not to gain unless it would be that you grab a cig instead of eating something  who knows. bless your heart . it is sort of damn if you do and damned if you dont isnt it?  1500 cals of food ????? oh my gosh how in the world would you do that. i know i cant.

i hope you get to come on the wed am anxious to see everyone.  take care and know that we all love you.

Hi Cor,

Oh Stink!!! I missed that support group meeting AGAIN and I had it marked on my calendar! 
Daw~gone~it!

I'm so sorry you are having difficulties with the weight. Can't say I know that feeling for sure!  ~ha  The weight wants to stick to me like glue! 

Sure hope you get to come on Wednesday sounds like you need some positive encouragement.

Blessings to you!

Cor, you need to get on the RNY board and look at the what are you eating today thread.  There are ALOT of people on there that are in maintenance and it all about what you eat not the quantity.  Sheri eats 1700 cals a day but not all that much food.  Check it out you will find it helpful.  Peanut butter and nuts, things that aren't low calorie.  Good luck! ;) Lou

 I am happy to hear you are doing better. I would bet you are not eating as much as you think you are. I know I feel like all I do is eat sometimes but then if I add it up its not nearly as much as I thought. Smoking does cause the body to burn about 200 calories more a day, or so I have heard. Most people do gain a little weight when they quit smoking. Smoking will do you much more harm than gaining weight but you know that. I wish I was close enough to attend DR H's meetings. I am sure I could learn a lot. I know he says we need to eat the carbs and that was hard for me. Hope you have fun at the lunch and tell everyone hey for me.
