Hey M!

I see you are up late too. Yes...I am getting back on the wagon...not even waiting until after the Holiday or I know there will be more to undo.  I was getting ready to ask you what the "ODAT" you added to you screen name stood for...and then I had a "duh" moment and got it! LOL! I hope all is well with you. Any special plans for the weekend?

We will go to the Inner Harbor BUT I plan to be good. Protein, H20 and activity will be my staple. Will try my best not to mess around...keeping healthy snacks, H20 and "p" pills in my possession to make it through. Hope all is well with u.

LMAO before Overeaters Anonymous I'd have had no clue myself.  I could never get the ODAT to show up and here it is all on its own.  Its been in this screen name sinc I changed it but remained invisible until now. 

FYI all, OA KCB stands for Overeaters Anonymous, Keep Comming Back (It works!).  ODAT stands for One Day At a Time.  Popular acronyms among various 12 Step Programs.

We know how it is, you must get right back on it after falling off of plan.  Carribean food is damned good, lol.  No waiting till tomorrow, next week, etc.  That's it girl, get on it right now before more damage is done. 

MISBEHAVING!!!  HELP I AM FALLING AND I CAN'T GET UP!

I had a conversation with my BF this morning and I said I need my Coach back.  We have got two family events and after them it is on like donkey kong!!!  Thank goodness we have not completely lost our minds.  We both admitted that we feel sluggish and sleep more and I told him why.  I will be going back to full blown protein train/atkins on the 12th.  In the meantime, I will make sure to get more water in and try not to eat so late in the day!

Don't I know what that's like.  The last few weks I've tasted a little of everything and most had little protein.  We will both get back on it. 

I've been feeling fat and bloated and eaten marginally lately.  Naughty foods, not well planned, not enough water.  Now here's the kicker:

Two weeks of being off my game and I LOST 5 lbs putting me 0.2 lbs below goal. 

Yes folks, 139.8 this morning.  Yippeeeeeeee!  I'm zipping easily into my goal pants, no more tugging and pulling but a little snug in the thigh area.  I have another similar pair of jeans with a bit of a muffin top to rid myself of .  Both are wearable, at last... at last .

I'm back in civilization today.  The plan is not yet set but I've been slipping on the protein so my hair is slipping off my head, lol.  I'm really going to have to work the calorie count because I suspect the wl was aided in part by that evil junk food upping my calories and fats. 

I need to manage the higher calorie count in  positive way.  Perhaps I will see my ideal weight after all as I ease the rest of me into these goal jeans. 

Still bloated and over 50% water but today who cares?!?!?  GOAL! I DID IT!  YAY ME! 

 

All and all , I think that I  am doing well......sometimes I struggle to get that  71 grams of protein in, but I do well with water......I have also discovered that I do better with plain water rather than flavoring it .....hence I have a buch of crystal light and other surgar free drinks i am not using...
Sorry back to the subject......I had my first bad experience. With the sleeve I know that we don't dump, but this was still bad. I had chili for lunch on wed and to boost the protien I added some cheese. My stomach immediately started grumbling and continued the rest of the day. I was very uncomfortabe so for the rest of the day I basically just finished my liquids....Arournd 4 am yester day a am awakened to the most aweful intestinal cramps and was making love to my toilet for  the next three hours.....it drained me  I ate nothing ysterday at all .  Today I am better and back on track so having said all of that I have not plans to fall of track this holiday weekend

I feel for you.  Dum***** we're prone to intestinal distress post op regardless of surgery type.  Rearrange the gut and strange things can happen. 

You're doing well getting your water in and making that protein goal so early out.  Keep doing it girl. 

nobody told me that, but trust  me the lesson is well learned

Congrats on your success! I am down to 191.2 now. My goal was to reach 185 by the 3rd of July, and I see that is not going to happen. It is okay because at least now I am on track..Plus I am down about 100 pounds as of yesterday, so I can't complain. My treadmill is broken, but I have been going to the park and walking a few laps. Last couple days eating has been on track. Not really craving much. I am starting to notice I crave sweets when aunt flo is about to visit. I have so many more PMS moments now than before surgery. I found that I wasn't taking the right dose of calcium, multi, and iron, so I ordered some from bariatric advantage. I  hope this helps with my energy level because I have not been in the mood to do anything, but sit and type on the computer/watch tv. I don't want to be lazy. Water has been getting better. I am trying to get up to 8 cups a day. I have also added diet dr. pepper to my daily intake of liquids, but just for this week. I don't know what is bad about it yet, but I know something.
