What we are eating,and what's eating us!!!! Friday

It is here! Friday..yeah baby. We can smile all day, knowing that we are close to our fun day. I hope all the irritable pochies settle down. Please share your discomfort so we may know and keep you in our thoughts and maybe some of us even have solutions. B- Yogurt and Kashi Medley Granola L- Swedish Meatballs and Pepper Cheese D- The last of my Lima beans and Ham, the whole family has enjoyed them so much. Let's act as if...act as if we are happy even if we are not. Let's fake it till we make it. That's like doing the best we can, until we can do better.    FOWARD MARCH!!

Linda, The week was so much better having Two Tuesdays. Thanks for thinking of that.  Sniff, sniff - another day without Kashi. Still lots of noises going on inside but much less pain. No cauliflower or broccoli either so the Kashi may be an innocent bystander. I'm staying with cottage cheese, fruit and green beans for a few more days. Okay, we can plaster a smile on our faces and FAKE IT.     Kisses Annette

Hi sis, I think you are being wise. My NUT told me to only try 1 food at a time, then it is easier to find the culprit. As for "faking it", every woman who has ever been married knows how to do that well. Hugs and Kisses!   

ROFL.....   You are too funny!!!!! Hugs, connie d

*WINK*

Hey, no woman has ever faked it with me! ... they are genuinely bored and show it! .... one said something about a hamster... not sure what she meant

LOL!! You are toooooooo funny. I am sure you are the sailor boy who never had anyone fake it. ...now about that hamster....

Good morning my lovely Linda!  Yes, finally Friday!  I love "Let's fake it till we make it. That's like doing the best we can, until we can do better."   I knew I hadn't been drinking enough fluids, but it really came to light yesterday when I went to get my pre-op blood work done.  Pre-wls I'd get stuck as many as 6 times before the tech could find a vein.  After wls, usually 1 stick and they'd find a geyser.  Well, yesterday, she had to snack my arms and hands...Finally she found something in my hand, stuck the needle in and the vein blew.  After several more minutes, she found a decent veing in my arm.  Today my hand has a big red/blue goose egg.  I was advised to drink, drink, drink from now until Tuesday at midnight so that they won't have a problem finding a viable vein during surgery.  I've learned my lesson - yesterday I drank 6 bottles of water, 1 bottle of Crystal Light, and 2 protein shakes. B - protein shake water, water... S - protein shake water, water... L - leftover grilled chicken breast and veggies from yesterday's lunch with added cheese water, water... S - protein shake water, water... D -   I think the guys didn't finish the baked fish.  If they did, I'll be happy with two eggs over easy and maybe a little salad. water, water... S - protein shake Trying to get plenty protein and plenty WATER in pre-op!  I may have to take a trip to WalMart for depends!

Girl, you better drink your little booty off!! Even some flavored things if that helps. I love the flavors and they are non sugar. I am praying for you, I want things to go smoothly for you. Love...much love!

Hi Linda and all, No menu change. I used to have this room off of my office with a tv and dvd player where I would eat my lunch (all to myself) and watched a dvd; it was very nice. Now I eat at my desk with 2 others in the room, mostly while we work. I am making a big effort to at least stop working while I eat. I read a book. Dont get me wrong I still am way happier, just was very spoiled with my own place for lunch. Soon as the weather stops snowing I will take it outside. Go sit somewhere by myself. This week went by soooo fast...I think cause of the 2 tuesdays. I uploaded a couple of new pics. Have a great Friday! Cheryl
