Home Again, home again

Hello all, It was nice to get back upstate and sleep in our own bed last night... I am feeling better every day but the head hunger still is killing me here, I am not really that hungry but want to eat everything I see on TV... Well I know this should get easier with time and I only have 4 more weeks of the mushy stuff....EEEEKKKK.... Hey I think I remember saying I look forward to this right?.... Yeah it will be so worth it in the end, this I know.... Gas is getting better also though I have not really had to many protein shakes....I am trying to mix the powders with mushy food when I can..... Well I hope you all have a great weekend.....~hugs to all~ Debra P

Hey sweetie.. I am so glad to hear you are home and doing better.. It takes time.. I live on the 3rd floor so when I came home from the hospital I walked up 3 flights.. It gets better every day.. I still have the head hungers.. Everything I see I wanna eat or at least try but I don't.. My doctor taught me a trick when you think about eating, do something for 10-15 minutes and you forget about it.. Try it, it works.. LOL.. As far as protein shakes.. I am bad cause I don't drink them.. I take my vitamins and I try to eat protein instead of drinking it.. Glad to see your up and around.. Have a great weekend.. xoxoxox Cathy :hugs

Hey Debra, I'm glad your home and doing well....it gets better every day. love, Janean

Debra, WELCOME TO THE LOSING SIDE, GIRLFRIEND!!! I'm sooo glad to hear that things went well and you're doing good! As far as the head hunger goes-I still see things on TV and want it like PIZZA!!! That's one thing I really miss!! Here's how I handle it: I just remind myself of why I've done this and the benefits that I've already seen in myself. It is worth it!!! Don't get me wrong, I still have days when I wonder if it is worth it because of the changes in my diet have been so extreme. Don't forget get plenty of and don't try to do to much to soon! Believe me your body will let you know real quick! Take care and God bless! Barb 342/256/hoping for 160
