Pouch Resetting Update (Time Out)

I think the ball is trying to kill me cause it threw me off of it today.  I think it has "Ball Vengeance!"

 Balls suck like that sometimes,

molly, i got a quiestion. i have been doing some shakes with water and tons of water and some food mainly one meal at night. does this time out make you run to the toliet to clean you out.. i am wondering since it is doing it to me. thanks. anita

Anita, From my experience it has done the opposite.I had to take a fiber supplement with one of my shakes to get things moving. It worked. But this is another reason that the first thing I will  incorporate back into my diet next week will be my kale, spinach and salads!

molly, thanks. i do take miralax twice a day so that could have something to do with it but it hasnt done this since i have been doing protein drinks. it has been awhile since i had a protein drink. but its working with the weight. today i was 160 pounds. thanks. anita

WARNING : WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS GRAPHIC!!!! Anita,   I know EXACTLY what you mean about cleaning yuorself out.  The first 2 days I had VERY loose bowels and the worst part...THEY WERE ORANGE!!  It pretty much freaked me out and I thought I was bleeding or something but my Dr told me it was from the protein and since there was no time (since only drinking liquids -they rush thru) for the bacteria to turn it a different color it came out like that... It's cleared up now and I'm doing fine.  Hope I don't get constipated now...LOL Sorry so graphic!! 

WARNING : WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS GRAPHIC!!!! sorry mine was brown and like water....  lets say i couldnt go far.... but today i am fine. the priten drinks i had was with water too and it was body fortress cho.  that nector is expenive so i am using what i have on hand. anita

Hi Molly I just read your post so I thought I would put my 2 cents in.  I did well all day yesterday at wor****il I got home.  Then I ate a TON of cookies!!!!  Do u remember those little flower shaped cookies with the hole in the middle that as a kid, you would put on your finger like it was a ring and then eat it???  Well I ate about 40 or 50.  Then I was SO mad at myself I wanted to purge, but I didn't...... Sooo today is a new day as I sit here drinking my protein shake.  We shall see I guess.  I feel like a big fat blob!!!  My highest weight was 249 in 2002 when I had my RNY.  I am now around 155 or so.  I want to get back down to 120!!!   Good luck to you and everyone else!  Lorri

Oh my gosh Lorri! I was just logging off of here for a couple hours and HAD to respond! You are the little hottie I remember from a couple years ago who was such an inspiration to me! Did you used to have a bikini shot of you on your profile?  Anyway, bless your heart. I DO remember those piece-a-crap cookies! LOL! Kick em to the curb girl!  The low carb train to Hottie Ville is movin' out! Ok, Ok, I am already lookin' great in my own mind but aspire to look hot to others as well,

It has been a while since I posted anything, it must have been in 2001 when I put anything up.......... but so sweet of you to say!!!  Yeah, those cookies suck huh?????  LOL I wanted to say that we must live identical lives!!  I was just reading your profile and thinking how pretty you are and always were!!!!  You and I are sooooo much alike!!!!   You are very beautiful so no need to look anyplace but the mirror girl!!!!!  Your hubby sounds just like mine too, always supportive no matter what.  I also have a little girl and a little boy, except that they are now 8 and 9 years old!  I gained all of my weight when I got pregnant and never could lose it until WLS.   Anyhow, I had to write to say hey and that I always look forward to reading your posts! Keep up the great progress!! Lorri
