Good Morning. Going through withdrawals

My cell phone with 4G, Internet access, and unlimited texting... It locked up while receiving simultaneous text and email. The AT&T store couldn't reboot it and they are sending me to the software gurus to restore me to "factory specifications".  

On the brighter side, my scales still love me. Weighed-in this morning at 122 pre-DS cleansing ritual.

On the other hand, we likely won't hear anything about the contract for 2 more weeks or so. I still have that application in for another job, so we'll see what happens.

Whatcha got going today?

 2 more weeks?????  UGH... 

Yea for the scales!  I haven't been on mine for a few days - last time was "yikes"!  

I was listening to WTOP in the car last week and they were talking about people going through withdrawals when they couldn't find or didn't have their cell phones.  They interviewed people and it was pretty interesting how attached everyone is to theirs.  Hey - I am too.  I can't find it and it becomes instant panic!

I'm working today.  My daughter wants to go to Costco and Ikea, but I've got so much going on now with work, I can't get away.  I was hoping tomorrow afternoon, but that's when Wynn naps... 

Yesterday was a crazy day (not in a good way).  I have a feeling today  isn't going to be much better.

Going back to basics , I feel I've slipped on the carb wagon already @ 8 weeks. I had a great food plan yesterday , but birthdays and company and lasagna for super , breads and chocolate . The old binger me came out.? I am sticking to my plan today ! Waiting to feel the hunger and under eating my tummy . I know I was tired yesterday and I eat when I'm tired. Just a bad day. Ok enough confession. Have a wonderful day everyone!

I'm post-op day 22.  My food/diet guide says I can eat oatmeal, cream of wheat and crackers (all the higher protein versions) now.  When is the right time to be eating carbs?

I'm sitting on hands here....carbs? Skip the grains and go for green veggies for your carbs in the losing phase. Grains are way overrated.

I agree with Gina.  I would not add these in until after you a finished losing and then only ocassionally.  If they want you to have carbs, try to stick with healthy ones like the ones in fruits and veggies(not white veggies).

I cannot eat oatmeal, it makes me sick everytime I try.  You will find crackers very easy to eat and don't take up any room in your pouch so you can really overeat on these.

 Sorry on the withdrawal, yay on the scale!

I am slowly dropping surgery weight as I recuperate here in Mexico. Today I am a week post plastics. I'm down 9 pounds since Sunday when I got back to the hotel from the clinic. Just another 7 to where I was when I left home. I'm hoping to shed another few pounds after that in the next month as I heal.  It's a miracle to have no appetite, yet have to force down protein bars to keep up my protein levels for healing.

 Hi Marie, it's not unusual.  In December I did not weight the hotel scale was broken. I think now it weights a couple pounds heavy. It's a doctor scale and has been calibrated nice December.

With my December surgery, he took off 6 pounds and when I got home I was down exactly six pounds.  I'm already down 9 pounds since Sunday morning.  I hope to be back to my normal weight when I get home next Thursday.
