Its almost Tuesday Folks
My plan was to sit here and respond to everybody individually. We all seem to have so much happening ours lives. Sorry family ... my get up and go, got up and went poof. How about a group hug instead?
The appointment with the dietician made me sit back on my heels. Instead of the scheduled 15-30 minutes, she spent an hour and a half with me.
No way does she think I am doing well, she is concerned about my weight being too low. Her other concern is that I am overly regimented with my food intake. That was a reverse WOW moment.
She attempted to give me the test for an eating disorder. The difficulty was that the test doesn't apply to a bariatrics person very well. In some ways I fit in the category only because of following the eating guidelines. For example: Do you avoid sugars? Yes, I DO avoid sugars, but only because I don't think dumping is much fun.
Similar questions:
* Cut food into small pieces?
*Feel that others would prefer if I ate more?
*Take longer to eat than others?
*Feel uncomfortable after eating sweets?
*Aware of calorie, fat, and carbohydrate content of my food?
There were more questions along that line. My answers were YES!!
She gave me names of therapists who specialize in eating disorders and thinks I need to be evaluated, because she doesn't really know.
My head is in an uproar now. Today I am regretting ever having WLS. I had a lifetime of hearing about being obese and knew how to handle those comments. But I don't know how to react to being told I am too thin and am following the eating plan too closely. Have I failed once again?
Here I thought that I was supposed to follow the guidelines - obviously my thinking is out of whack.
My bed is looking very inviting. I am cold, exhausted and want to shut out the world. So, I will turn on the electric blanket, turn off the phone, and go take a nap.

Hello everyone
Not much interesting here except my connect card is actually working and i am on the web. YEAH ! ! ! !
Went to Bible Study today. it is much more than Bible Study...this is a group of mostly women who have been meeting every Tuesday morning for 11 years. Some are cfharter members others newer like me. this is my 2nd year. We are doing a Beth More study now called Stepping Up studying the Psalms of Accent. But like I said it is more than just a study. This group has become family and watched eatch others kids grow up etc. A loving support group.
Tonight DH and I are going to a movie. forget the name of it...Stars Queen Latifah and has the word Bees in the title. The previews looked good so we hope to enjoy it. Other than that I am doing laundry. Tomorrow I will finish cleaning up and start packing for our cruise that leaves Sunday. Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
Read my other post about my big decision.
My other big problem is Diva seems to be pooping outside the box and it's not solid poop. I have to take her to the vet ... it's $40 for the appointment and then whatever after that. It's not like I have the extra money. I have a big power company bill this week and other money I have to pay that I owe, plus next week I have to pay car insurance or they'll cancel.
I'm on the phone with my friend Mary Kay, who thinks it might be the food ... I was feeding them Nutro Natural Adult, and I changed it to Nutro Senior Indoor.
Don't know if that would make any difference. But I guess I can change food for awhile.
Well, I got to get off the phone and get some water in me and put my leg up. Have a good day.

Good evening, Carla and all my OFF family. I hope that so far today is good to each and every one of you. If it isn't just let me know and I will kick it's bee hind because all of you deserve nothing but the best! That is my opinion and we all know that is the only one that counts~at least to me anyways!
I went into the church office this morning and did some phone answering, made copies of things, sorted paperwork and filed. So that is done and I am finished with the office (or at least I think I am) and won't see the church until Sunday. That doesn't happen often to me, as you all know.
Misty is acting better. I think the biggest part of her problem is that I have been gone so much. She doesn't like being alone and she has been alone a lot lately. I have made more of an effort to baby her more too. While I was at the church this morning Bill was home with her and then she was a lone for about a 45 minutes while I took my neighbor to her daughters house. She had to pick up her great great grandson. So she seems to be doing better about getting into her water and such. But I am going to watch her since she still seems to be acting different. She just doesn't seem to be my baby.
I guess I should get going. I have to start dinner and have that done. I am going to have fish and green beans. I am so glad that Bill likes fish as much as I do. I always liked it but since surgery I have craved it. I can eat it every day and not get tired of it. It is strange how you change after having wls.
I am sending love and hugs to all and prayers are going up for everyone. Special ones are being said for those who need them. Have a great night and remember to enjoy yourself.

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