Thurs Check In

Dee, Hey take the weight loss how ever you can get it.... I am sure you are so glad to be off of the liquids...eeeekkk! I am so glad that you are feeling great and that you are back with us now. Again sorry about your boss hun, I know that had to be so bad to deal with and right after your surgery like that. If you need to just chat give me a call anytime. ~Hugs~ Take care Debra P

Hey Debra, well I miss without a doubt deep dish or sicilian pizza!!!!! I stopped all soda when I found out about my ulcers, and I dont miss it anymore......but I do miss pizza!! Have a great day. Love, Janean

Janean, Yeah I can say that I do miss pizza as well but I did find a mini pizza that is thin crust and very small, the normal portion would be like 3 of these mini things but I would only eat one, though I have not tried them yet. Got them from the health food store but offer not much in protein so that is why I did not try them yet. Well take care hun and thanks for posting. ~hugs~ Debra P

Well...i have been on liquids for 2 days because tomorrow is "The Big Day"...but I can tell ya I will miss chocolate.... Im a chocoholic! Chocolate anything...thank god i can have chocolate protein shakes!! I freeze them and they get all slushie like a shake..yum! Tanya

Tanya, Hello hun ~Hugs~ Sorry getting back to you post so late but I went home last night and crashed. It was so hot that I would not eat, weird right. I think it was turning in my pouch and making feell icky... O well.... Oh TODAY is your big day.... Congrats hun, I guess you are on your way as I type this..... I wish you the very best, may your surgery go smooth and your recovery speedy... ~Hugs~ Debra P

Hi Debra et al - I'm pre-op. I totally surprised myself by giving up my beloved Diet Pepsi with no problem. The thing I'm currently concerned about missing is my Starbucks' lattes...can not seem to kick the habit. I've cut back, but that's as far as I seem to be able to go. My honest reaction is I doubt I'll miss any one food - what I'm afraid I'll miss most is large quantities of any food! Thanks for encouraging lurkers and pre-ops to join in the reindeer games Debra...I'm both! Mary Mc

Mary, Wow you are able to give that up pre-op? I did slow down with it but only after my surgery was I able to give it up. It still haunts me today. You know those lattes come in decaf, I had one but could not fini**** It has reg milk (little) with Splenda, it was good and made me feel like I was normal again. Yes I know for me I mourned and still do at times about being able to sit down and really enjoy my overeating. Now I eat to live instead of living to eat. Hun I am so glad that you posted, I love to hear from ALL (pre-ops, lurkers and post-ops)..... ~hugs~ Debra P

Hi Debra!! I have been away for a little while. Very busy here..... Getting married on Sun. and have had sooooooo much pre-wedding stuff going on I'm going crazy!! I have missed you all and will be back more frequently when all is done. I guess what I miss the most after surgery is the fact that when I think I'm STARVING and sit down to eat and eat 3-4 bites and am full. That's the worst for me. I can do a little diet, caffiene free soda, although too much makes my belly hurt. So I have it as a treat. I'll write soon!!! Take care everyone!! Karry 311/175/155 goal

Karry, Wow your wedding day is here. I wish you the very best hun You should have an awesome day for it, this weekend sounds awesome with the weather, the humid nasty stuff should be leaving us tonight. Yes the mourning of the over eating party. I know the feeling hun, to sit and enjoy a big meal again....mmmmm but as I said before, we are not eating to live instead of living for eating. Well take care hun ~hugs~ May God be with you both on your wedding day! Debra P
