Happy Wednesday

Hello my AMOS Family, ~hugs you all~ Just wanted to stop in and say Happy Wednesday ALL.... Mid way through this week, yeah... Back to work f/t this week and now wishing I was still off... Nawwwww it is nice to be back into a schedule again. Please post and let us all know how you are doing, even you lurkers.... I just love to see others saying hello and peeking in also, even if there is nothing that great going on. QUESTION: Now since I had the surgery my outlook on food has changed, I never thought it would ever do that but I find myself looking at things and saying "well that will not add protein to my diet so I can not eat it". Have you all felt like that after surgery? For the pre-ops do you think that you would ever think like that after surgery? Does it change over time and the little things creep back into your diet that should not be there? Well thanks for posting and reading, if you do not want to answer the question that is ok just post and say hello....~hugs~ Love you guys.... Take care Debra P

Morning Debra I have noticed that me still being pre-op i have started to change the way i think about food..I almost catch myself being picky on protein..and on the healthy stuff. I get to see the surgeon on monday! Wooohoo! Hopefully i lost the remaining 1.5 because i was so bad this weekend. Well i have a few more days to work it off..TTYl Kristen

Kristen, Hello hun....~Hugs~ Yeah that is so close now and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you are down that 1.5 or more.... Yes I was like that before as well but there were time when I just went crazy to, fighting with myself over the last mean syndrome.... Well thanks for posting hun...~Hugs~ Have a great day! Debra P

Hey debra, how you doing?. I have the worst stiff neck,. Well I'm starting to eat and read label more and buying what I neen when i'm in hosp and when i get home. Hope everyone is doing well 2day and a speedy recovery for those who had sergery recently.

Zulema, Hun thanks for posting and I hope your neck feels better real soon...~Hugs~ Yes and so did I pre-op but now WOW I really read them.... Now I really have to watch out for the sugars and sugar alcohols.... Well take care and I hope you are feeling better soon.....~hugs~ Debra P

Good Morning Ms. Moozy! I always looked at the labels when I bought something but I was checking to see calories and fat content, Now I check fat, calories and protein. If the protien is high then I will buy it, even if I think the fat content is a bit too high. Most of the time I think to myself, that is a waste to eat. Other times I will nibble on a cookie, and exercise more! lol Enjoy your day!

Hun, Yes I find myself reading the sugars and fat at this point because that is what I am worried about being only 1 month out... Yes I understand about the nibbles.... Sometimes it helps get ya through.... Well thanks for posting hun and have a great day...~hugs~ Debra P

Good morning Deb and everyone else Well in the begining, all you can think about it food what to have what I can't have and you make these changes.....This is not a diet it is a life change......always be aware of what you are putting in your mouth cause I find it is so easy to fall back into old habits and we don't want to do that.....so always be aware of what you put in your mouth......

Christine, Yes at this time while learning what I can and can not have, or what my pouch will like is all time consuming but I know as time goes on it will get easier. I also weigh out my food so I know what I am getting, which takes time as well but once I know what a proper portion looks like I will be ok.... I am so used to have these monster portions that these smaller ones look funny, though I am full on them. Hun thanks for calling today, it was nice to hear from you...~Hugs~ luv ya.... Debra P

Happy be-lated birthday Deb I'm so sorry I missed your special day.... I hope you and hubby did something special..... Christine 346/231/?
