good morning linda and everyone

its saturday 7 am and my pouch has been grumbly all week.  however, the good news
is that i am walking a little bit more each day and i see light at the end of the tunnel
now.  i spoke to the therapist and he thinks i may be able to do some part time work
by first week of May.  im nervous and excited.

anyway, i think i need to get back to basics with my food intake.  its not so much that im eating
the wrong things, but just that ive been trying new combinations of foods and stuff, and mr. pouch does not seem happy about it.

so today i will try and eat plain and simple, at least thats the plan

got coffee brewing

fluff for breakfast (recipe from main fourm) which has cottage cheese, yogurt and jello in it.

lunch and dinner im not sure, hubby may want to go out, but im thinking plain simple food.

thats my story and im sticking with it

hugs to all, jacki

Jacki,

This has been a long recovery for you. I hope you continue to improve your walking each day.
Best wishes & hugs
Annette

Hiya Jacki,I am happy to hear you are walking a bit!! Even if hubby takes you out for dinner,you can still keep it simple,the important thing is your being out with him..smile.
Bravo for you girl...you are coming right along.
Jacki,are you at goal.or how far from it??

thanks linda

yes im ok when im going out, its nightime thats been calling to me again.  old habits resurfacing and i need to nip them in the bud

yes im at goal, its almost  2 and 3/4 years since my surgry and i have stayed within 4 pounds of my lowest weight.

thanks for your post

jacki

Jacki, I am so glad that things are starting to look up for you. When we see the light at the end of the tunnel it gives us one more thing to be grateful for and to strive to go to. It has been a long hard recovery for you and you are finally getting to the payoff of your hard work and your tolerance. Which I might add, your tolerance seems to be so much better than I would have had.

Sending you lots of love and hugs!

thank you for your kind words

now i have to get my eating back in control, ive been having a pity party these last two weeks.

im so happy to be starting to walk again, and yet everything feels kinda scary too.

hugs, jacki

It is alright to have an occasional pity party but the key thing to remember is that we never want to party to long. We must all leave the party early!

I know that things must be kind of scary but it is going to be alright........just like our lives.......a step at a time.

Good morning, Linda.

I'm in a better frame of mind today, thank goodness.

You're right, it's hard to stay positive when there's so much sadness around us.  But it's definitely worth the effort.

I have been trying to give up milk because so many people (including medical professionals, although when I went through diabetes education, no one ever told me to avoid milk) have told me that the body converts it to sugar so quickly.  I have concluded that I just can't do it.  Anyway, where is it written that whatever you give up for Lent has to be food?  I think I'll concentrate on giving up swearing instead.

B: coffee protein shake (made with milk!)
S: iced skinny latte (more milk!)
L: Gyro turkey meatballs, broccoli & cauliflower
S: smoked turkey & muenster cheese wrapped around a slice of avocado
D: salmon with lemon-olive sauce, sauteed onions
S: ricotta cheesecake fluff with raspberry sauce

Hiya Jean,I never heard about the milk thing,that's interesting,have you gone to a diabetic website or forum to get more info on it? Has the weight loss helped your diabetes?
Staying positive is something I must do,as my mind can go to dangerous,unhappy places,and I deserve more than that. Plus,I want to give sunshine,no matter what.
Please let me know how your diabetes tests are running,I have never heard Connie say anything about the milk either,maybe she will chime in if she sees this.
I love your pic,your face looks sunny and happy.
Have a wonderful Saturday.
