TGIF!!!

148.2

Still within my acceptable range, but not where I'd like to be, so reigning it in. Not good timing because it's the weekend and I have several Mother's Day celebrations! EEk! Oh well, grin and bear it!

103 lbs. this morning.  I really don't get it, the weight is just falling off of me and I am actually struggling to keep it on.  I am eating, but without much enthusiasm these days.  I really don't know what has changed, but I don't want to lose any more weight.  Thank goodness it's the weekend and I have a number of parties to go to for "recreational eating". 

I actually called my friend that is hosting the dinner tomorrow night and asked her to please make something high in protein and calories for me.  This is a very good friend, so I can ask her anything I want to ask her, she's been there for me through this whole thing.  I am thinking cheese, nuts and avocados.  Anyone have any great ideas for me?

You know the answer. let nature take its course. you will rebound. sleeve plays tricks on us. who would have thought our little tummies have a sense of humor. diane

It does seem like the sleeve has a sense of humor.  But I have also noticed that if/when I start eating mostly protein and veggies, especially in my soup form, I lose all appetite for a while.  It is good to remember for those times when I will need to cut back a bit.  My husband noted the other day, that I am "unusually skinny" and that I am much thinner than all of our friends.  I don't know if he meant that in a good way or not, I did not have the heart to ask him.  I am starting to have some odd thoughts about being a bit too thin and wondering if it's all in my head of if it's true.  The mirror lies and I can't really tell because my perception is still a bit screwed up.  I think on Wednesday, I am going to ask Dr. Cirangle if he thinks I am too thin.  My guess is that he will tell me that as long as I am over 100 lbs, he is OK with it.  Maybe it's just a matter of taste at this point.  Sorry, I am rambling, but it helps me get my thoughts together.

121.  another lovely day in thin-land. diane
