Judy, Please don't beat yourself up over this. When you fall off the horse just pick yourself up and get right back on. I have had the same problem with family. I have lost 120lbs. since my surgery September 5, 2008, my daughter, Mom and brothers are already telling me I have lost enough and look like I am dying. I just tell them I am doing as my doctor says and when they get there medical degree I will listen to them. You get back on track and just forget about today. Best of luck to you. I will kee*****s family in my prayers as well as you. God Bless you. KathiM

You're fine sweetie... really. Don't worry about the popcorn... if you are going to "go off" a program you made a pretty good choice of food! My rule -  don't listen to anyone who has not had this surgery... cause they ain't  got a clue Relax... deep breath... put the !!!!!!! key down and take 3 steps backwards

THANKS MARC!!! I AM GONNA DO JUST THAT!!! 3 STEPS BACK AND PUNT...

HUGS

I'll kee***** and his mom in my prayers - you too Sweetie!  Isn't it funny how we can never please people.  First they say we need to lose weight, then we look gaunt, skinny, anorexic!  What's up with that?  I had a male friend tell me I was getting too thin and he doesn't like his women thin.  My answer was, "First "J", I'm not your woman, and second you have no say in how much I weigh!"

THANKS DEBBI FOR THE PRAYERS....RICKS MOM WAS SENT HOME JUST NOW AND IS ON SOME MEDS AND WILLBE OK IN A BOUT A WEEK DR SAID...I FORGET THE PROBLEM BUT ITS NOT LIFE THREATNING SO THATS GOOD NEWS!!!

ALL OF A SUDDEN MY FAMILY IS SO UPSET WITH ME BEING SKINNY...LOL ME SKINNY??? YEAH RIGHT....I AM DONE LISTENING TO THEM...ITS GONNA BE ALL ABOUT ME!!! IF MY DR SAYS I AM TO SKINNY THEN I WILL LISTEN TO HIM!!!! WHY I BEAT MYSELF UP OVER THEM I HAVE NO CLUE...BUT I AM GOING TO GET RIGHT BACK UP AND TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!!!

THANKS AGAIN!!!

Lil Sis, They pushed your buttons and you reacted. Today is a new day so start over. No biggy at all. As Marc said - popcorn wasn't all that bad. It wasn't anything that made you sick. Kind of like eating a bit of corn. Next time you are going to a family gathering, be mentally prepared for similar comments and just smile and TRY to ignore them.  People are so used to seeing us heavy that the changes make them say weird stuff. Take a look at your before and after pictures. You DO look different. Not bad, not gaunt, merely different and drop dead beautiful.  Kisses Annette

(((SIS))) THANKYOU FOR THIS POST TO ME THIS MORNING!!! YES TODAY IS ANOTHER DAY AND I WILL GET BACK ON TRACK AGAIN!!! FAMILY GATHERINGS?? HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN!!!

You too huh? I planned on starting the 5day this morning. So I had a last hurrah last night and ate an entire bag of popcorn, The real buttery kind. I can not tell a lie, it was wonderful..then.. this morning I feel like it is all just sitting in a lump in my pouch. But that was YESTERDAY!! Today I start the 5 day, you with me??  Hope things are looking better for Ricks mom.. Blessings
