What's on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?t

Off the rails with food. That is what happens when you let loose of your grip on it! Last night we ordered dinner for our anniversary, since hubby isn't really up to going out much right now. We got Greek food from a local place and Grubhub delivered it. I got a gyro. I was so hungry that I practically inhaled it, bread and all. Then I spent the next few hours writhing in pain because my poor pouch really isn't big enough to hold that much food. I couldn't drink, I tried to puke but could only get up foam and slime. It was horrible. I lay on the couch with my head in my hubby's lap and cried. He said "You really have to stop doing this to yourself." which really pissed me off. I haven't done "THIS" to myself in well over a year. I snapped at him, I haven't gotten food stuck or had this pain in a long time. Now I'm sitting here thinking I was a bit harsh with him because while I haven't had this particular issue in at least a year, I have had RH and nasty episodes from eating sugar. He had no way of knowing that this was a different issue. That being said, he has his meeting today with the Bariatric Surgeon. He's seeing the same one that did mine. He's having his dad take him down. I thought about going, but I really am trying to distance myself from his surgery, since I have a habit of being bossy and I know that he'll have to go through the process on his own. It's his surgery, not mine. I'm here for advice and support, but I can't do it for him, or try to control him with it. Funny though, he needs blood work, and I told him where the closest lab is that participates with the surgeons office and told him I'd take him tomorrow morning so he could be fasting. Of course, he second guessed me and this morning I heard him say "wow, that is the closest lab to us." I roll my eyes because I researched all of this stuff and had to go there, why would I lie to him or be wrong? But whatever, lol. It's his surgery, I am backing off. I'll keep my "I told you so" to myself and just smile smugly when I'm right, LOL.

JBQOTD: I know I watch a couple ours of TV a day, meaning I'm in the family room with the TV on and it's what we're doing, but for the life of me I can't remember any recent commercials that have struck me as funny. I only half watch TV anymore. Last night my hubby had some show on about knife making. It was a competition show. I spent my evening crocheting, playing with the kiddo and the puppy and poking around on my laptop. I was only half paying attention. I do like the Arby's commercials because I love Ving Rhames voice.

No totals yet. I am bad.

Also, my allergies are acting up BAD. I took a benedryl last night and a claritin this morning. It's not so much sneezing and runny nose, but my skin feels sensitive and inflamed. I don't have any hives just yet, but I can feel it working up to it. Not a fun feeling.

So sorry that happened with the gyro. It's such an awful feeling to be stuck and I'm sure the last thing you want to hear is that you could have avoided it. No **** How does being reminded of it while you are in the middle of it, help?? Hope you feel better today!

Seriously, right? Not really the right time to have him say that to me, lol. I know damn well what I should and should not be doing.

Now, time to get back to doing it.

love the Proverb you added to your signature. A good meditation

Forgive yourself, forgive your husband... apologize if you think that is needed, brush yourself off and move on. Today is a new day. Take it easy on your pouch today, I am sure it is sore.

I work hard every day to humble myself and remember that I do not know everything. It's in my nature to be proud and stubborn, and that is not the person I want to be. As always, I am a work in progress.

Sorry your night was rough. Hope you feel better today.

I had a similar evening spent after tortilla chips with cheese...lots of them...last night. Love to you Sister. We do great most of the time. That is better than most and more than good enough. hugs

Sorry to hear you had a real bad pouch night. Hope your feeling better!

We don't have TV, so we never see ads! We haven't had TV in over 10 years! I remember going to a hotel when my girls were maybe 3 & 6 years old and them being so confused by commercials during their cartoons. "Is it over Mom? Why did it stop in the middle?".

Today is the end of my easy week. My boss and my co-director have been on vacation this week, but tomorrow my boss comes back. I guess I should enjoy the quiet today.
