Discouraging Visit to WW today

I was a little disappointed in my visit to see Dr. Walton, Jess, and Somer today.  Jess wasn't pleased with what I've been eating, Dr. Walton wasn't pleased with my weight loss, and poor Somer she couldn't help me much because of my stupid knee!  LOL  I told Jess I have to eat what will stay down, but that didn't seem to appease her either.  Dr. Walton told me that if I don't get better in the next two weeks he's going to put me back in the hospital and give me nutrition intraveiniously for three to five days.  Like I have any time left to take off work.......oh well, we'll see I guess.  Hopefully it will get better.  Jess did put me back on mushies, she just says that my pouch is really pissed at me!  LOL  So I had ricotta cheese for dinner tonight.  UGH!  I'm so not into all this again. 

Hugs,
Marsha

OH Marsha I am so sorry!!!!  I know that is not what you wanted to hear but thank goodness you have a Dr. that is concerned for you and wants to be sure you are healthy.  Losing weight isn't worth it if you lose your health.  I'm sorry you have to do mushies again but it won't be for long. This too shall pass!

Hang in there kiddo!

sorry to hear that Marsha.  I can't wait til I get to the mushies!!!  I have so been craving any form of bread--particularly grilled cheese and garlic bread.  It's driving me crazy!

Sorry to tell you this, Jenzilla, but mushies do not include bread.  Bread, pasta and rice are totally off limits. Sorry to burst your bubble!

You didn't burst my bubble, I already knew those things are off limits.  I didn't mean to make it sound like I was going to get to eat them--just that I'm craving them.  I live downwind from Pizza Hut and I was smelling the garlic bread from it that day!

Marsha I am so sorry. I wish I could just give you a hug. I know you are frustrated and I wish i had a magic wand and could make everyones issues go away but since I can't I will send prayers and strength vibes your way.

Hey girls!  Thanks for the encouragement, I'm going to be fine with the mushies...at this point I can't eat enough of anything to care whether it's mushies or whatever.  At least the mushies seem to stay down pretty well.  I'm really focusing on getting my water in, that has been a problem also.  I didn't have a glass of tea at all yesterday, so I think that was good.  I switched from sodas to tea back in the fall and I drink a lot of tea.  So my goal now is water first, then I can have some tea.  I drink decaf tea at home, but when I'm out, which is most of the time, you can't get decaf, so I drink regular. 

Sarah, the prayers are much appreciated.  I said it at support group Thursday night, and I told Dr. Walton yesterday, I'd do it again, even if I knew I was going to have the complications.  I just want to feel good all the time instead of occasionally.  :)

Jen,

Mushies are awesome!  I don't mind any of them except the eggs, and I just can't do those without gagging...so I don't.  Eggs didn't set well with me before surgery and they are even worse now.  I just don't like them.  :)

Thanks again for all the encouragement.  I think my sadness yesterday was that I was so tired and didn't feel good either, I hate hotel beds, and with my sister snoring in my ear, it didn't help!  LOL

Hugs,
Marsha

Marsha, I am so sorry too.  I want to kick people who say to me, that this is the easy way to lose weight....It is hard! Very hard and each step is different for us. I hope you get this all straightened out and things start going smoothly for you soon.

Hugs
Sherry

Thanks Sherry!   I also want to kick people who say it's the easy way out.  Maybe that's why I'had such a hard time with it. I never thought I felt that way, but maybe in the back of my mind I did.  It's NOT easy any way you go.  I'll be ok.  Drinking lots of water, taking my medication religiously, and eating mushies...what more could you ask for!  LOL

Hugs,
Marsha
