What's Happening Saturday!!

Jan, we hope you are doing well and are anxiously awaiting your return.

It's a beautiful day here, supposed to be around 70 tomorrow.  Hubby has been working in the yard the last few days.

Today I'm decarbing so it's protein drinks all day and a meal this evening.  A year ago I wouldn't think of eating sweets but I've gotten careless recently and sugar has never made me dump; however, it makes me very sleepy, makes my tummy ache and gives me a headache.  The things I've tried don't taste like they used to.  Yesterday we had a Chili cook-off at work and desserts were brought in.  I tasted a few knowing I would regret it and I did.  I was in a sugar coma all afternoon.  I have to get back to basics and follow the rules like I did in the beginning.

What are you doing this weekend?

Oh gosh!!!amen sister I thought it was only me!!!I don't dump on sweets  and a year ago i never touched them, now i am probably eating everything the same as i was prior to surgery except in much less amt.s maybe 1/4       but....weight has slowed to a crawl, maybe a lb. a week...not good, How long of being carb free-sugar free until the horrible urges pass?   thank you for the post, I needed to hear that someone else struggles too after surgery, it is not a magic pill by any means.

What a beautiful day!  We enjoyed art walk last night along with 2000 other people.  I think everyone was excited for the beautiful evening.  We got out today and visited my grandparents they are so sweet and crack me up.  Then went to some vintage clothing stores and now we are getting ready to have some friends over to cookout tonight. 

JO I know what you mean about comas.  I haven't tried any sugar over the 7 grams that's in Click but if I eat more than about 20 grams of carbs I might as well clock myself out for about 4 hours.  It knocks me on my butt.  I hate it.  I went to the movies with my daughter and we had a small popcorn and I was eating it and she leaned over and said MOM, stop I can't drive home I don't have my permit on me.  HAHAH!  She just knew I was going to pass out at any moment from that popcorn.  Its crazy.  I didn't eat too much and I really try to watch it since I know that this happens. 

I hope everone has a wonderful weekend.  I have an open house tomorrow. ;) Lou

Hi OH People,

I miss Jan also, hope she is feeling well and feels like posting again soon.

I know what you all mean about the carb thing, I haven't had surgery yet, but I have been low carbing it so I can get as much weight off a possible b4, It takes me about 1 to 2 weeks b4 I can honestly say I don't have the cravings. I don't go into coma, but I get awful gas and really feel sick to my stomach.

I have had a hard time for about 3 weeks of cravings, found out Tues. that I'm Borderline Anemic, so started taking more Iron and drinking with OJ. Still gonna have to put up with the cravings for a few days.

Think I might go ahead and get a protein powder and see if that might help with the cravings.

It's a beautiful day here, had to turn on the air conditioning cause of my allergies can't just open all the windows and out place gets really hot when the sun shines on it all day.

Hope everyone enjoys the warm days, Jan you are in my thoughts and prayers.
