WHATS HAPPENING JANUARY 16

I weighted this morning and I have lost the five pounds that I gained plus 3 more extra….so feel lots better about me and know something else. Today Joe thawed out a half of an orange date nut cake that I made before Christmas…..I ate a small , really small slice and immediately started sweating, and shaking like I was going to pass out….dumping big time. Why did I eat that after going all week on this 5 day pouch test . Crazy ,? YeaH? BUT!!!!! Does prove that the week of cleaning out my system worked and I wont eat anything like it again .. Now that isn’t possible but I am going to try to not do anymore no-nos. we can know things and still mess up cant we. I know I can ….crazy I guess. But you know what is so great about having gastric bypass surgery? We don’t have to be perfect. We can mess up and realize it and decide that the feelings that we got from eating something wasn’t worth that so it is marked off the list of what you will and wont eat. But also we don’t have beat ourselves up over messing up. We can start over again as many times as we have to ..

I got called by the nursing home in Forsyth yesterday ,went, in and filled out paper work, she wants me to come in Monday and Tuesday to get orientated…to where things are kept and if anything is different than it was the last time I was there. And they have raised the wages since I was there last ….so that didn’t hurt my feelings. So im going to work again for awhile. don’t know how long I will last but want to get some things paid.

JO:::::I don’t think weighing yourself daily is so awful bad , at least you know is you are gaining. But you need to know that your weight will Fluctuate a lot.

Hey if y ou still have the OH magazines and want to get rid of them you can send them to me….would love to take them off your hands. Lol. I thought there might be somethings in there that some of my group could use…

Hey keep up the good work of going to the gymn….pretty soon it will be a habit. And that is what we need to do. Some people become obsessed with it and that is good at least lots better than none or being obessed with food or other things.

The snow is totally gone down here. Im like you that is enough don’t want anymore this year at all.

BEC:::: oh how I wish I had been there with you to walk…I might walk daily if I had someone to walk with now that I have my knees fixed. But trying to get Joe to walk it like trying to get a pig to fly. Lol

Im like you now about the dense protein now. Last night we had chicken and the piece I put on my plate was the size I have normally been eating and I could only eat about half of it.. It really helps get you to know your tummy again I think. \

There was a gator on Springfields Craig list the other day for 4000 dollars was 2006 is that too much , don’t have any idea of the price of them except I know they are expensive.

JEANIE RAE::::::Well sounds like you are on your way girl….a lot of people say that after surgery they didn’t like the protein powder that they used before surgery but I did. Keep up the good work. And if you are using the protein for snacks it will help you to give up some things that you eat now.

That will be good if you and DH can go exercise together. Will be great. Lol im like you I couldn’t go in wal mart and just walk around lol I go in there for one thing and come out with all sorts of stuff.

When I first had surgery I had Joe to take my picture every month on my anniversary and I put them in my book. I could look back at the month before and see the difference in how I looked that month . It really is a good visual tool …lol had to laugh with you saying I was thin lol I don’t think so , im thinner than I was but the excess skin keeps me from thinking im thin. Wish I could have an extended tummy tuck like Barb did the other day.
