Thursday - BOTT Cardio and Café

Well no good new on my end... my mother went into the hospital last night with awful stomach pains... after a few x-rays and other tests... turns out she has a blockage or twist in her intestines where she had her Y of the RNY put back together. What's wierd is that she has been fine for 6 months, now all of suddent, there's a blockage. Looks like she'll have to get drained out over the next day and have another lap surgery to fix the issue. I'm afraind of her intestines getting strangulated for blood and her having more major issues... but she talked to me this morning and sounded okay... Please keep her in your thoughts!

What is your caloric limit?  I mean, with the exception of the cheetos, what was so bad?

If I want to lose my weight by March I have to keep my calories down to 1,052.  On good days its obtainable but on thursday I went over.

Hello BOTT,
Got a call from my doctor today telling me that my potassium is too low.  She asked if I wanted to bring my levels up with supplements or by adding food items to my diet.  I told her I'll use the food items. She advised that I need to drink milk and orange juice. I can't drink either, and she gave me a whole list of things to eat.  When I looked at the list I laughed, because everything that was on the list I eat in abundance, except for the bananas. I have really been enjoying being back on track.  Don't laugh when you view my Potassium filled menu.
