What we are eating and what's eating us.Thursday!
I will have to answer yesterday's posts later. They are my treasures, and I value them so. I had to take a knock out pill, as my butt was dragging from being up since 1AM. I scare people when I get like that,they think I am about to have a seizure, after that thing with Lyrica happened to me before.
Fangster was not happy yesterday, so eating was light. B- Cheese stick L- Healthy Choice Glazed chicken meal D- Cottage Cheese and Honeydew melon. S-Peanubutter and Apple
Please vote early and often!
We used to say that in the old days, when people used to pay drunks to go vote again and again, of course our system is not as corrupt today..

Hi there Linda,
I have ben lurking mostly...not sure why. I am struggling with what I guess is "head hunger." playing with the same 2.5 lbs again. Working my butt off at work and just too damn tired after...
No big changes in my menu..
B-steel cut oatmeal with some raisins and walnuts
S-yogurt and kashi
L-ham and cheese roll up, apple, and a couple crackers with peanut butter
S- cottage cheese and blueberries
D-not sure...some protein of some sort
S-Yogurt and kashi
I am thinking this is too much food but if I don't eat at least this I tend to graze...
Have my year appt with surgeon next week and I would sure like to be at the goal he set for me....
Still walking the treadmill with weights 2x a day.
Hope things are going better for you at the home front...and hope work is treating you well...
I always read this post...

Cheryl,
Good to see you posting again. I wondered what happened to you.
I get use to seeing people posting then Poof... they are not there.....
Oh the one year appt
.... I look forward to mine... in six months lol Amazing what was going on in our life one year ago. And look where we are now. Do you have much to lose to meet the goal the Dr set for you? I have about 30 # to meet my goal, but I know that the last few are the hardest. I have six months to do it in but... not that easy either.
Good luck on those last pesky pounds.... Millie

I just couldn't think of anything to say....
I just looked at my ticker and weird! It had changed back on it's own to a previous weight. I am technically a bit below the goal that he set for me but I can't seem to hold it there.
You are doing great! I know it's not easy, I agree whole heartedly! It is HARD!

Hey sweetie, I know you have been lurking, and I knew you would come out when you were ready. It is not in your character to abandon anything!
I say the h3ll with the 2.5 pounds! Portions are important and you may be at a point that 6 will work for you. If you do your drinking, and the half hour wait, you should get through the day.
Add some "smushies" to your menu. Things like green beans,spinach,salad stuff, they smush down to less than half their size, yet you get to eat,....and they are good for you!
You will do fine!
Hugs!

Linda,
You are an inspiration and seem to have the eating thig down pat. I too always read your entertaining posts and will have more to offer after surgery in just a little over two weeks.
My struggle right now seems to be the conflict between knowing I should be trying to eat more like the post op diet while feeling like I want to celebrate and devour everything I won't be able to enjoy later. Such is the curse of the double Libra. Life revolves around the balance between two opposite choices and generally the most hedonistic wins.
Here's hoping life will be simpler (and healthier) when some of those choices are surgically removed.
Blessings and blissings, Carmel Valley Linda

Linda, you make me laugh, I am a pisces, so I know all about duplicity. I think you should be totally hedonistic. I did for awhile before, but then my surgeon put me on a pre-op diet, I lost 24 pounds and shrunk my liver, we tend to have fatty livers, hard for the surgeons to get around sometimes.
Other than that...enjoy girl!!

S: 6 oz yogurt
L: 1 crabcake, 2 oz Thai slaw
S: 1 oz beef jerky
D: 2 oz pork (if it'll go down - sometimes it won't), 2 oz spinach
S: 4 oz SF pudding

Good Morning my dear Linda!!

B-Boost....still no appetite
S-apple w/ peanut butter
L-Boost
S-?? D??
Have a good day.....you know I am thinking of you.
and oodles of hugs....Boo....to you!!!

Good morning to you sweetheart. I am hoping that today is one of the best that you have had in a long time. I hope that for me too but something is telling me it won't happen today. Maybe tomorrow! A girl can hope can't she? Without hope we have not much in our life besides the never ending love of God.
I think of what you told me when I am in one the many stressful times of my life now. You said that I am gaining jewels in my crown. I have a feeling right now that I am going to have a heavy crown. At least that is how it feels now. I only hope that God sees it all in the same way that I do.
I have yet another meeting tonight at 6 and then I have a about 3 so far next week. At least Saturday is looking pretty good. I am hoping that Bill and I can get away and maybe do something fun. I would like to go to Toto maybe. It is a dinky little town that has a couple of junk stores full of discontinued items and such. It is fun to go there and I just walk and walk and shop and shop. I usually don't buy a lot but the exercise is good. ha ha Then we go for lunch and life is good. I don't think it is going to take a lot to talk Bill into going. He loves it there.
Food is going to be a battle today. I am hungry today. I know it is nerves. I feel like I am being torn in many pieces and I am ready to bite every ones heads off and them chew it up and spit them out. I have to get a grip and let God take this all away from me. He can do for me what I am unable to do for myself.
B: toast with sf cinnamon applesauce on it ( my mom use to eat this and it is so good ) and a slim fast low carb shake for the protein
L: meatballs reheated ( this will be the end of them )
D: chicken and veggies
S: hopefully nothing
I am sending love and hugs to you dear friend. I am keeping you and yours in special prayers. Remember to smile!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
