Well reading the scale lately is like riding a roller coaster ? I am frustrated as I want to get down about 20 lbs but not having much luck. I NEED to do following:
Eat Mindfully
Exercise Regularly
Drink Water Frequently
Take Vitamins as necessary
Food-F
Water-D
Vitamins-A
Exercise-C
Have a happy healthy week
Yours in WLS Journey,

Astros in 7 to win their first WS. Nice to see it happen but again can't wrap my head around them being an American League team. Astros winning the WS post Harvey is equitable to Saints winning SB post Katrina and the Yankees/Giants going back to work post 9-11. Their respective home cities/regions NEEDED them to get back to playing, and or winning,! The teams were a great diversion that was necessary for the recovery's.
Shocking outcome in Ohio State game! Miss. State had a scare from U-Mass but held on to win. (Sorry, Bill.) No surprise Alabama beat LSU and goes who is in Starkville next week? Alabama! Off Friday to road trip. Chasing football games has been our "vacation" this year. This Saturday and Thanksgiving Day and barring a Bowl bid to a game close to here that is it till next season. 
Not the best of weeks eats and exercise wise. Have a hard time sleeping at night because of getting up to take a whiz, or taking the dogs out to whiz, that I hit the SF Reese's in the fridge. Guess I'm trying to get a carb coma going so I can sleep. Walking schedule out of kilter because of some friction blisters in of all places the tops of a couple of my toes on right foot and trying to compensate for blisters changing position of footfall when walking has my foot hurting. Stress fracture? Going to give it a go again this afternoon since not done since Thursday and need to get a few sessions in before Friday.
Gotta to go!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
It's noting to sweat. Like mentioned previous may have a burning sensation a time or two but still doesn't hurt like a kick in the nuts. When I was in ICU for dehydration several years ago had to have one to empty my bladder and give them accurate measure of urine output vs fluid intake. When I was feeling better a day or two later I was joking that I wish I could have had a cath back in my drinking days. Never would have to get up to go to the john!
Good luck Wednesday and Welcome to the Loser's Bench.
Best advise is in the siggy line!

I feel like I am in a ping pong game with weight. High stress and old habits trying to come back. I find myself looking
in the refrigerator a lot at night. The little things that don't get logged add up real quick on the scale.
Plus yesterday was family dinner with my elderly parents. Lots of old world cooking. I can still feel the salt in my veins
:-)
Good week to all.
God Bless our Vets.

Being away from home so long made my normal home routine feel a little weird. Cleaning up loose ends of the first wave of my project meant I didn't get much workout time and still sat a long time. Since I'm the project leader, I'm pulling rank and making the next wave come to me for a couple months. I should be able to go back to some better habits.
Yay Iowa and Michigan State!!! The Big 10 got a big shakeup yesterday and Michigan is right back in it. The next three week are critical with two really big challenges at Wisconsin and Ohio State.
Thanks, that is the only thing semi bothering me. I know it shouldn't be a big deal and I will do what needs to be done, so bring on Wednesday.

Ok guys, I will post this here and see if I get any response, if not will head over to the regular forum. All set for my surgery on Wed. not nervous at all, just sort of feeling weird about getting a catheter. Never had one before, I know they put it in when you are out but how bad is it when they pull that thing out of your pecker?

I did not have one during surgery, but required it twice afterward, due to aesthesia affecting my bladder. I will tell you the truth. It burned like fire going in, but did not hurt at all coming out. The second time was worse than the first because I knew what was coming. Even so, it was better than the pressure of a completely full bladder. They pulled 500 ml out of me the first time. I thought I was going to explode before they got around to doing the deed.
Once the anesthetic wore off and things started working again, I had a bit of a burning sensation for the next few times peeing, but it was less and less, and disappeared quickly.
