Yep, DH did well after wls but after awhile he would eat a small apple in the afternoon, eat dinner an hour or so later and then barf. He couldn't seem to understand the connection. But doctor did a swallow scan or something and noticed his sleeve was somewhat stretched plus the hernia. He tightened the sleeve up when he did the hernia repair. Problem was solved. But sadly DH now eats lots of junk food which tempts me too. Diane S

Ooh, that's so hard. I can be easily influenced by others. My brain reverts to a childish "fairness" model where I want what others are having in the exact quantity. The quantity part is currently solved by my restriction, but I still get a pang when someone else is having something I love like ice cream or dessert when I didn't plan for it. I want it too! Makes me glad sometimes that I'm single so the majority of my eating is alone.

Interesting, Diane. Thanks.

Time for my late night howdy do!

So I was looking at my schedule and responsibilities. Step 1: I asked Ron to be responsible for dinner on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He managed tonight (though I did to remind him around 4:30 today. Lucky I did because he had forgotten!). I also have told him that I want to sit down and create a "chore list". That will be a good start.

Next, I will have to examine my grooming schedule. I have deep rooted conflicting feelings about the grooming - money vs. time vs. commitment to clients vs. need for self care.... This one won't be easy.

Weight is still in the same range of a pound, but it's much too high. Poop. My self deprecating wit just rang out with "Dysfunction trumps WLS"! That's not a good thought, now is it? Funny how the mind works - especially when over taxed.

Best wishes for the DH's tomorrow! My issues simply don't compare. I can only imagine how trying this time is for both Paula and Ann. Hopes and prayers for a wonderful outcome.
