Happy Mid Week Day!

Hello All, Happy Mid week day, or hump day if you like. Well I have to say that my numbers started to move on the scale, yeah! I think within these last 2 days I lost 2.5 lbs. See I had to look at the scale. Well that makes me happy..... Thanks to all that posted some advice on how to get it moving again, it was just a stall. Adding more calories really did help and I got the email back from my surgeon and he said I should be taking in about 600-800 calories right now. Well last night we got the keys for our new place and we start to move in tonight (small stuff) and our main stuff will be this weekend with some help. Please post and let us all know how you are doing, I love to hear from all of you. ~Hugs~ Debra P :dance 285/240.5/125??

Deb Good Morning!! Very glad to hear that scale is moving again. YAYYYYY Boy, more power to you on moving!! I can't imagine having to move. We have been in our house since 1968 and I have 37 years of accumulation!!!! But it is exciting to have a new place. Remember, you need to be careful on what you lift. So, please take care. Today, I am doing my clear liquids, making sure my hubby has everything he needs, preparing things for my return and just relaxing as much as I can. I may even try to take a nap later as I will be up extra early tomorrow so I can administer my hubby's IV antibiotic before we leave for the hospital. I will also try to stop by early tomorrow to just say hello before I am on my way. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} Brenda

Brenda, Hun what time are you having to be at the hospital? Sounds like you have it all covered. Yeah you will be on the bench soon enough and go with the rest of your new life. ~Hugs~ Yeah gotta love the clear liquids, just thinking about them now makes me .... But hey you have to go what you have to do to get through it. Take care hun ~Hugs~ Debra P 285/240.5/125??

Deb I have to be at the hospital at 6:30 a.m. for surgery at approximately 10:30a.m. I think I have everything under control for now. I really don't mind the liquids, especially with the heat!!!! You are right, we gotta do what we gotta do to get through this. I will see you on the loser's bench soon! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Brenda

Hey everyone! Morning Debra... TWO WEEKS TIL SURGERY!!!, I start my protein shakes this morning Ugh..I will get through it somehow. Luckly i only have to do TWO a day and a regular meal ~ I have been having some weird dreams about food LOL..Is that normal? Have a great day Kristen

I am doing really well!! Its been a GREAT week so far...lots of water, protein and exercise!! LOL I hope your move goes well and please do not work too hard....you are still healing!! Lisa 371/341/232/140

Lisa, Hun that is awesome to hear though it has been so hot...eeekkkk but hey Christmas is only 5 months away.... It was good for me as well but now the moving started...grrrrr... well it is a nicer place so it makes it worth while. Yes I will take it easy, I have my Cuz (male) coming (from LI) Sat and Sun to help my hubby out, so that will be good. Also last night I had a 1/2 of a Subway Atkins chicken ranch wrap, wow that was awesome, felt like a real person. Having the other half for lunch today. I hope it is not to soggy. Take care Debra P 285/240.5/125??

Kristen, Yeah you are getting close....eeekkk It takes time to get used to those shakes and after surgery once you can have full liquids you can start putting them in yogurt, which for me helps so much! Yeah dreaming about food is normal and also I daydream about it as well, not so much now but at the beginning it was hard! Hey for me food was like a lover, always there for me so it is like a break up. It takes time. Take care Debra P 285/240.5/125??
