ah night eating! I have found that if I don't eat within about an hour of going to bed, I too wake up in the middle of the night. Weird huh? I'm glad you have a good attitude! You're not beating yourself up - but critiquing. Yeah!

Hope you don't mind me posting anyways =) -me

oh lord lol..nobody has to be AS anal as me with the counting. This is just part of my making new mistakes new years thing I've never been THIS watchful/mindful of my intake - even preop (when I used to fudge the totals to make them look better - hmm better to WHO? I was the only one reading it lol).

Yah I'm already nuts enough as it is. I think if I got into counting stuff I would obsess. Think hell, I KNOW I would. Its bad enough I go around counting and re-counting my 6 meals a day. LOL *hugs* -me

I can relate! LOL

Tooter-I appreciate your starting this thread as it is interesting to see what other "long term post-ops" eat on a regular basis. I am often amazed at how little some of the people from the other board eat. I was all set to "play along" when I realized that yesterday was really an odd day of eating-maybe I will try to post after today--or then again, knowing me, maybe not. Do you get any sleep? Was I reading your post correctly? It was 12AM--3AM your time? and you were still gonna be up long enough to eat a chef salad and popcorn? BTW--I was noticing a thread the other day about drinking a few weeks after wls--somebody was asking about it. Of course, there were tons of varied responses-but I noticed you did not respond. I was sitting there waiting for your standard response with your facts and was kinda disappointed not to see it. Are you giving up on that particular subject? Just wondering. ! Hope you have a great day--I may be asleep by the time you wake up.

nooo I'm not giving up on any subject I either missed it or it was sufficiently answered. I'm trying more to prioritize. With the kids being homeschooled now - I just don't have as much time as I did before. I still try and read them all - but something had to give before I had a nervous breakdown ya know? Ok, I do sleep on a very weird schedule....so yeah that was correct. I was up until 5am this morning. Slept until noon and am back up

Home schooling--Wow that is an ambitious undertaking! There is so much responsibility in that, I never had the nerve or committment-but I was tempted, especially early on. I've met so many home-schooled kids who turned out great. I have some close relatives who tried it with their kids and it was a nightmare though. They basically never did schoolwork--it was play all the time. The oldest was 11 and he still couldn't read--at all. Thankfully, they finally switched them over to "real" schools. Re--the drinking thread--nope, it wasn't answered sufficently at all. I think the only responses with the exception of one was--well I did, started at 5 weeks --so it's fine. I kept waiting for your drinking post and it never came. Have a good day/night and good luck with the home schooling and the weird schedule too. No nervous breakdowns allowed.
