WHATS HAPPENING SUNDAY

not  a lot to talk about this morning....lots and lots of Happy Birthday wishes from yesterday....if i missed telling any of you thank you , im sorry and Thanks. i appreciate all the well wishes.

Sun was out all day long here yesterday and did a good job of melting a lot of the snow, especially on the roads where it had been graded ...yards not so much but that is ok. as long as people can get around...

My granddaughter and her family are suppose to come down today as long as the roads are all still good. i told them not to come if they are still bad...wouldnt want them to jeprodize their lives to come see me. that would be horrible.

JO:::: lol that was funny , the attack of the dani****hink most of us have had that happen to them and yes all you can do is take a deep breath and go on...it is over with and no sence in beating yourself up over it... just pick up your new way of eathing again and go on.
Maybe next time you will have time to think before it makes it to your mouth....

JEANIE RAE:::: yes most everyone that has let themselves get fat is a member or the  food addictis club....our support groups are like AA ....
are you trying to eat only the amounts that you will eat after surgery? that isnt much is it? no wonder you are hungry girl....
loving meat is good because that is mainly what you will need to eat to get your protein in...but the amounts that we eat after surgery isnt quite enough for you before is it? i dont know just asking.
i was a meat lover before surgery and i still like it but it doesnt like me much.
i hope it dries out some for you before long....dont want you having to go muddin....lol

 

Hello;

I want to thank all those who prayed for my nephew in the death of his mother and uncle. It is when things like this happen that you find who your real friends are. I am so grateful for all the support.

I am getting stronger everyday. I think I have whipped this infection. It should be smooth sailing soon.

Jan hope your birthday was a good one.

Gong to try to get something done today but, not too much. Found out yesterday after going to the store that when you are up too much, the swelling begins. Will control that today.

Hugs to all;
barbara

Jan, I forgot to wish you Happy Birthday but HAPPY BIRTHDAY a day late. 

We had sun yesterday and also today.  I did some errands yesterday afternoon and it wasn't bad out at all.

Yesterday was such a lazy day for me.  Just couldn't get motivated to do anything so I didn't do much......cleaned the bathroom, changed the sheets and made dinner.  This morning I intended to go to SS and church but just didn't want to.  I missed a couple Sundays because of the weather and now I'm finding it hard to get back in the routine.  Shame on me!!

I'm making a new Chili recipe today.  It has 47 carbs for a full serving but I will only eat half a serving.  They are good carbs from beans. 

Last week I counted WW points as well as carbs but I'm not messing with points this week.  WWs just isn't the right program for me.  I need to track my protein and limit carbs.  I keep track on The Daily Plate.  My total calories according to them should be 1239 but I want to keep them around 1100.   All the years I was on WWs and never got to goal, I was obsessed with eating, always thinking about what I had eaten, what did I have left to eat and I don't want to be that way any more.

I'm going to Penney's to pick some shoes they ordered for me and to look for a microwave cart and a trash basket.....isn't that exciting.

Jeanie Rae, when I first met with the dietician she had a plate showing the amount of food I would eat after surgery.  Hummm.....looked like the plate of a 2 year old.  I had to do a 3 month diet and exercise program for insurance.  Seemed silly since I had been dieting for 35 years but I did it and lost a few pounds.  I ate high protein/low carb but in normal serving sizes.  I did practice chewing everything which was something I didn't do previously.  I ate too fast and I wasn't really chewing like I should. 

I tried an egg again today and no more.  The dogs loved it.  I scrambled an egg with 1 oz. of cheese and put it in a Flatout wrap.  A couple bites and that was it.  The thought makes me gag. 

Good Morning to all of OH,

It looks like we get to get a little warm for a while. We are gonna turn in our apps. for the YMCA Silver Sneakers tomorrow, and commit to at least two days a week to start with. Am gonna try to get a head start on my excercise.

My DD's MIL had her Lap-Band on Tuesday and she did OK. Talked to her yesterday and she said she still has to have someone help her get up, but once she's up she can walk and feels good. She had some problems with and after her surgery, but they were minor and because of scare tissue from having back surgery and she had some kind of pins put in that they had to work around. Then since she had her surgery at the weight loss center, instead of the hospital the nursing was a little lax, her IV slipped and her hand and arm swelled and it took a long time to get ahold of the DR. to get it out and give her oral pain medication, then they gave her something she is allergic to, she is OK now and thank-ful that she had the surgery, so it all came out good.

Jan~I hope you have a good day with you DGD and her family today. I'm sure they'll get out there just fine. We really lucked out and didn't get as much as they thought we would.

Barb~Your nephew is lucky to have an Aunt like you. I'm keeping him in my prayers, and know that it takes time even when you know someone you love is ill and only has a short time to live. Hoping he has the love and support to help him through that time with lots of love.

Jo~I can't imagine not liking eggs but it's hard to imagine not eating solid food for 4 weeks or better. I agree with Jan I am a food addict. Good thing you have a dog that likes eggs, I would have to just throw them away. Our's would not eat it either, he and his momma hate eggs. They love spaghetti and pizza, but not eggs. LOL

Susan~So glad you are doing OK. You still need to be careful. Hope to get to see you at the meeting on the 12th of Feb.

Just want to say to everone have a GOOD DAY and enjoy the SUN. Talk to ya all tomorrow.

Thanks for the kind words about my Nephew. We feel lucky to have him. 31 is young to lose your mother. Even tho he is a great adult, it's hard to lose parents.

Hugs
Barbara

Barbara we know it is soo hard to lose a parent.your nephew is in our prayer's.i was 32 when i lost my mom.andy was just a teenager when he lost his dad.hug's to you too.god bless.susan

Just got back from looking at a camper for sale. We are thinking of selling DS's house and putting him in a camper  and in a park somewhere. He says he is going to go back to Texas. Lord knows why and what will happen to him there. Its about all I can take . I know no ones life is perfect but why does it have to all mess up at once.
All I need now is a rejection from my insurance on the panni. That may push me over the edge.
Its cold , wet and nasty snow is not pretty . I want warmer weather.
Taxes are not good this year,when they stopped taking so much out for taxes they didn't help us at all. If I didn't have experience with taxes we would be paying.
I guess thats enough belly aching for now. I do hope everyone is having a great day and staying warm.
