CONFESSIONAL!

ok...'fess up.....tell me what you had to eat yesterday and the WLS gods will forgive you of your sins if you say 12 serenity prayers LOL  I know I'm just as bad.....yesterday was no exception.....I didn't eat enough

b - nothing

l - cottage cheese a couple sticks of string cheese and 5 triscuits

d - cottage cheese again and some low fat popcorn

all my fluids and vits.....after I shoveled the ice I think I drank 60 ounces of fluids right then and there LOL

Your turn!

Bless me Father for I have sinned. Fatigue is my big downfall.

b - 4 egg bites
l - 1/4 cup chicken casserole (legal recipe), 1 blueberry bite with cream cheese (all legal)
d - dinner out (innards of 1/2 roast beef and provolone sandwich), four bites of potato, 1 bite salad. (none of it was very good). Sipped several sips of decaf after and got nauseated.

s - got home and put groceries away, was very tired, and made a cup (1/2 c milk, cocoa, splenda) cup of cocoa with a shot of light whipped cream. Was not the best choice but not the worst.

Got all my vits and 75% of fluids.

Off to do my penance.

that's not too bad hon!!!!!  your snack although still legal also still counts towards your fluid intake!  Oh I know about fatigue.....when I was done shoveling the driveway......I was too tired to eat.....I had to force myself to eat dinner last night and it wasn't good LOL

I would agree about the fluid intake but we have this crazy dietician who pounds into our heads that nothing with a single calorie shall pass our lips between meals, especially liquids with ANY calories. She tell us that the two greatest indicators for weight regain are snacking and soft calories (anything that has calories but goes down easily). We aren't even allowed to have soup for meals because of the liquid calories.

Unfortunatively when I'm tired, I want to eat more... or when I'm sick, or when I'm happy, or oh, hell, anytime! 

Aaron, don't be mad at me, ok?
But all I had thursday was some soy nuts and some cheese and 24 oz water. I just don't feel like eating.
I did manage to take my meds and vitamins. I know I need to eat, I'm dizzy and starting to stumble, but I just don't want to eat.

I swear I'm going to strap you down and put a funnel in your mouth!  you gotta eat baby whether you want to or not!!!!!  You don't wanna go into starvation mode, you'll gain weight again!

Even if you don't want to eat you should at least take your vitmains religiously along with your fluids.   I am gonna have to come over with Aaron, strap you down and make you take care of yourself.  All said with love to an OH family member.     Today you still have time to change that.  Take your recommended protein and fluid so that you don't suffer the consequences in the future.
(((hugs))))
